Ramin is a young gay man who fled the repression in Iran and arrived in Veracruz, Mexico after traveling clandestinely on a cargo ship from Turkey. While contemplating what he will do next, Ramin tries to cope with the distance from hislover, who stayed in Tehran. The paradox of his feelings is immense: while in a state of longing and nostalgia, he savors his newfound freedom far from Iran.
