In all the borders of Iran, smuggling of fuels is so prevalent that many people are engaged with it. The type of equipment for carrying the smuggled cargo is based on the geographical situation, but in all situations human beings play the most important role. The reasons for smuggling also vary, based on the existing situation in these areas. This film follows smugglers who work on the boarder between West Iran and Iraq (Kurdistan). It accompanies people who don’t talk to anybody during the day, seeing their daily lives and the jobs related to smuggling. Their cargo is taken over mountains and valleys, eventually reaching their final destination in Iraq. Here they find a kind of traditional café that allows the labourers to rest.
