- A deserter who has lost all hope meets with a little girl in a ruined city.
- It all began with "Black Friday" - a massacre on Sept 8, 1978, by the Shah's police. Official pronouncements put the death toll at 200, but the next day the people of Teheran witnessed how thousands of bodies were brought to Behast Zahra cemetery. Yet even this wasn't the whole extent of the tragedy. As the families continued looking for their relatives they began to realize just how many had disappeared. Over the next few months the massacres continued, with many thousands more disappearing, until February 11th, 1979, victory day for the Revolution. Naderi's film follows this search for the missing, through which the terrible truth is gradually revealed. The film is not only a documentary but also a document of a horrible crime.
- The everyday life of an anonymous prisoner on death row. His torments, memories and suicide attempts slowly lead him towards a silent madness that the ruthless prison system will not prevent before the final act.
- A jealous husband introduces his wife to his male friend in order to test her faithfulness. He then pretends to go on a business trip but instead rents an apartment opposite theirs and observes her intently.
- Jean-François loves Constance with a tender and passionate love. It is enough to see the behavior of this lunar clown to realize that every moment passed away from his beloved is a real torture. Shared between endless trips in the corridors of the metro and evenings between friends, it is not good in his skin. In search of complete happiness, he tries to satisfy his vocation: to become acrobatic with Constance, but, as a result of mediocre performances, even null, this aspiration leads to a dead end. Disappointed, bitter, bruised, he realizes his loneliness, his inability to apprehend the real, his desire to escape, his velletic instincts; he turns in circles. Attracted by the solitary adventure, opportunity to flee this bad past and to assume as an independent being, he can not bear to be separated from Constance and returns to the room under the roofs and the environment reassuring friends. And thanks to the benefit of a stolen purse in which he participated, he takes refuge in their world both theatrical and imaginary to regain a taste for life and its simple pleasures: the game, the dream, the hoaxes.
