Shakib is an unhoused day labourer who lands a job building a film set. Unexpectedly, he is roped in along with fellow workers to be extras in the shoot, playing Nazi extermination camp prisoners. This darkly surreal turn signals mounting stresses in the troubled and dictatorial production which forces Shakib into an actual role. With it, however, comes an opportunity to secretly help his lover Ladan, a deaf sex worker, escape her minder. Yet as worlds and lies threaten to collide, he must consider the risks that he is willing to take for a better life.
