Haaj Ebraam is a tailor who spends his days in his ancestral tailor's shop to earn the money for his daughter's wedding. One day, he gets a special delivery. In a letter, his father wrote to him that he has left him with magic buttons, their family heirloom. The buttons in the two jars bring good and bad fortune to the customers, but Ebraam shall not be entitled to intervene with the justice of the world, and he should not choose buttons for people's clothes based on his own judgment. Ebraam, however, soon gives up trying to carry out his father's order and takes over the distribution of the world's fortunes.

In an Iran weighed down by a struggling economy, two middle-aged brothers live with their bullying father. A man prone to rages and driven by chauvinism, the father’s abusiveness found his second wife leaving him. Now he picks on his eldest son, while the younger sibling fantasises about ways to kill his father. When the man rents out the flat above to a young woman, with intentions of marrying her, the woman’s attraction to the older son slowly pushes this profoundly damaged family to breaking point.

Three different stories of three women. In the first Mehrnaz is a widow who is living with her daughter alone. In the second Shahla takes care of her disabled husband and in the third Farzaneh is a young girl who has problems with her fiance.
