But on this trip, their 10th anniversary, a mysterious young man is following them. Trying to solve the mystery of the young man throws Donya and Davood into a time warp recalling their past nine anniversary trips. They remember what they have forgotten. But will that be enough to save their marriage?” (Golden Thread Productions)
