A gold fish farmer in a small Iranian village is facing financial ruin when his water supply from the river is cut off. Reza (35), having distanced himself from the urban quagmire, leads a simple life along with his wife and sole child, somewhere in a remote village in Northern Iran. He spends his days working on his gold fish farm. Nearby a private company with close links to the government and local authorities has taken control of nearly every aspect of the regional life. Its shareholders, accumulating wealth, power and economic influence, have been pushing local farmers and small owners to give up their belongings, farms and estates, to the benefit of the company's influential network and monopoly.
