A man dreams of a box of gold waiting for him at the end of a cave. Curbed by his religious belief that it is not permissible to go after it himself, he employs the assistance of a non-believer and together they embark on a long journey across the Iranian landscape in pursuit of a miracle. Their treasure hunt soon turns tempting also for those they meet along their way. Aliyar Rasti’s allegorical breakthrough turns a road trip into a play of hide and seek between faith and human frailty.

ಗುಹೆಯ ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಧಿ ಇರುವ ಪೆಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಕನಸು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆದರೆ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ನಂಬಿಕೆಗಳು ಅವನನ್ನು ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಲು ಅನುಮತಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಇಲ್ಲದವನೊಬ್ಬನನ್ನು ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ನಿಧಿ ಬೇಟೆಗೆ ಆತ ಹೊರಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಇರಾನಿನ ಭೂಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ನಡಿಗೆ ಸಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ದಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗುವ ಇತರ ಜನರಿಗೂ ಇದು ಪ್ರಲೋಭನೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಸಾಂಕೇತಿಕ ರಸ್ತೆ ಪ್ರವಾಸ, ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮಾನವನ ದೌರ್ಬಲ್ಯದ ಕಣ್ಣಾಮುಚ್ಚಾಲೆ ನಾಟಕವನ್ನು ಸಂಕೇತಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
