Mohsen (portrayed by Mohammed Ali Fardin) arranges a meeting with Atefe (Molosak) before heading to Shiraz to inform his parents about their impending marriage. Atefe resides with her uncle, and their lives take an unexpected turn when Jaleh, a cabaret singer, falls ill. Atefe’s uncle proposes that she step in for Jaleh at the cabaret. One day, Reza (Reza Beyk Imanvardi), a close friend of Mohsen, spots Atefe while attending the cabaret and becomes suspicious of her. He implores her to step aside and not interfere with Mohsen’s plans, as Mohsen is already engaged to Nasreen. Despite the complications, Atefe had made a promise to take care of Jaleh’s child and continues performing at the cabaret. When the time arrives for Mohsen to marry Nasrin, Reza’s student falls ill, and Reza takes the child to the hospital. It’s at the hospital that he encounters Atefe, who has come to visit Jaleh. Tragically, Jaleh passes away, prompting Reza to apologize to Atefe and reveal the entire story to Mohsen, leading to a complex and emotionally charged situation.
