An Iranian writer is tired of always writing dark novels with tragic endings. So he begins a love story, a project fraught with difficulties. How does one tell a story when the lovers are forbidden to meet alone and look into each other's eyes? A powerful shadow, Mr. Petrowitsch, the censor, watches over every word and even reads the writer's thoughts between the lines. Thus, Sara and Dara, the young couple from Tehran, must come up with a thousand schemes and tricks to find each other.
