Rana is a middle-aged woman holding a high-ranking position at a major bank. Her husband left her when she was pregnant with their daughter. Since that time, she has been raising Hoda alone and her daughter means the world to her. Hoda’s birthday is approaching fast, and she would like to celebrate it at an amusement park; overprotective Rana is not so pleased, but finally agrees. An accident at the amusement park ends fatally for Hoda, and Rana's life is turned upside down. As if the pain and tragedy of losing her only daughter was not enough, Rana must also face the absurdity of the laws and traditions in her country.
