SYNOPSIS

Soodeh, a teenage school girl starts to have feelings for her schoolmate Atena, who tends to be indifferent towards her. Meanwhile, the school basketball coach finds out about Soodeh's feelings for Atena and gets jealous of them and attempts to take advantage of her, threatening her to report this forbidden love affair to the school principal if Soodeh continues ignoring her. Soodeh is desperate and in the end seems to find no solution other than surrender to the coach's will because she may get expelled and doomed by her parents if word spreads.
