Written by the producer Behrouz Rashad and Qotbi, the film is an adaptation of a novel by Ahmad Akbarpour.
A little girl meets a female writer when she was on a train. The writer promises to call and visit her later.
The promise, in the writer’s mind, is just a theme for her new story, thus embarking on a merge of fantasy with reality.
Helped by her father and some other people, the girl attempts to overcome her concerns and this leads to amazing adventures.
