Afghani immigrant Nasim (Moharram Zaynalzadeh) is having a tough time making a living in his new home of Iran, but things get even worse when his wife becomes gravely sick. Knowing that his current salary can’t provide her with the treatment she desperately needs, he takes an odd proposition from a crooked entertainment promoter: Nasim publicly bets that he can ride a bicycle for seven days straight. As a media circus develops, Nasim begins his harrowing journey with his son at his side.
