Forty-something single mother Minoo is a product of the Islamic Revolution, a generation of women repressed by changes in law under the new Islamic Republic. Her daughter Pegah is a rebellious youth, part of a generation in search of an identity they're yet to find. Together they live with Minoo's mother - three women of three different generations, living in the past, present and future. When Pegah takes off on an existential journey, Minoo realizes she needs to reconnect her fracturing family, and sets out to find Pegah - encountering a myriad of Tehran characters, including an improvisational indie rock band. Things take a turn for the worse when she loses her mother along the way.—Anonymous
The movie spans the life and times of 3 generations - Grandmother, Mother and her Daughter, with the Carpet as the common binding theme. The movie very poignantly covers the turbulations of the elderly generation who can only link to the past, the middle (current) generation mother, who battles to save the cultural threads of the past and the new age daughter, who is trying to find her way in life, aspiring to do something different and yet, can carry on the cultural heritage (in this the Carpet) as a memoir. The movie is about each one of them, finding their links to the past and re-conciling with their present & future.
