Forty years ago, during the uprising to overthrow the Shah's regime in Iran, demonstrators set fire to cinemas in protest against Western culture. One of the most tragic episodes was the fire of a cinema with four hundred spectators inside, the
most of which were burned alive. In modern-day Iran, four ordinary people in turn decide to set fire to a cinema. Their goal is a room in which a film is shown about an unearthed and unexploded missile.
