    • Two years ago during Akram’s engagement ceremony, her father was killed during a fight with one of the close relatives of the groom and after a while, he is sentenced to death. Today, is the day when his execution sentence has been approved after a long time and Akram and her family members, i.e. her sister and two brothers shall go to the court to ask for such execution. However, there seemingly is a problem which made Akram and her sister hesitant. They told about it to Salim as well. But they prefer not to tell anything to Taher, their smaller brother. Salim tells him that it is better that they give consent and ask for blood money instead of execution. However, Taher becomes insane and tells he will never give his consent. After referring to their lawyer, he learns that in case he wants to enforce the order, according to the law he shall personally pay for the blood money shares of his sisters and brother. First of all his sisters say that they want no money. But Salim insists to get hi share which is around 40 million Toomans, which is a bitg sum for Taher, who works as a cycling messenger. Meanwhile, Taher learns that Akram, his younger sister, is pregnant, while no official marriage formula has been pronounced between her and her husband, Majid. This issue causes that Majid did it through the plans of his mother to be able to obtain the consent. Now Taher more emphasizes on execution, but he has only two days to provide the money. On the other hand, the murderer’s family do their best to obtain the consent. Taher considers the only way to provide funds as mortgaging his father’s house title deed and getting some cash on interest. Akram is upset because of this issue and tries her best to stop him. One day before execution, Taher brings money for Salim. Salim quarrels with him about mortgaging the house and throws him out of the house. Akram comes back home, while had an abortion and feels ill. After a while, Majid comes home and says last night the murderer had a heart attack because fear from being executed and died.
      Taher leaves the house while everybody is surprised.
