Synopsis

A young couple (Mojdeh and Reza) are hosting Reza's old friend Edmon in their house. Mojdeh has always wanted to become a journalist for Boojga news network. Not willing to adapt to the reality distorting culture of media, she never gets accepted. Reza is studious but an unsuccessful filmmaker. From the beginning, Edmon grows fond of Mojdeh who is a reclusive painter. After multiple attempts, Edmon finally gets close to Mojdeh but realizing her rebellious personality backs away. Edmon leaves the country and the circumstances get worse for Reza and Mojdeh whom both suffer from Melancholia. The story is narrated by Edmon and after a while, some inconsistencies develop between the narration and the scenes. Edmon, in fact, is telling the story for a person named Paniz. Paniz who is also part of the story knows Edmon's distorted style of storytelling is a way for him to paint an innocent picture of himself. Edmon returns from his overseas trip and in a series of events that happens between him, Reza and Mojdeh, Edmon comes out as the winner. Edmon, realizing Paniz's knowledge of the truth, fears her from that day forward.
