Shideh and her family live amid the chaos of the Iran-Iraq war. Conscripted to the army, her husband is sent to the frontlines leaving Shideh all alone to protect their young daughter Dorsa, all the while Tehran is under the constant threat of aerial bombardment. Not long after, a missile hits their apartment building while failing to explode, a neighbour dies in mysterious circumstances. Following this Dorsa's behaviour becomes increasingly distrubed and Shideh is slowly drawn into a mania, in which she struggles to cling onto what is real and what is not. Searching for answers, Shideh learns from a supersticious neighbour that the cursed, unexploded missile might have brought with it Djinn - malecolent Middle-Eastern spirits that travel on the wind.
