Mina who lives in a corner of a park in Tehran, pays no mind to the hustle and bustle of the New Year's celebrations. The film gives us a glimpse into fourteen days of her life as she plays with dogs, exchanges banter with other homeless people in search of drugs and cigarettes, and sleeps next to piles of garbage.
