Djomeh is a young Afghan man who has come to live in Iran because of family trouble. Working as a milk boy, he encounters discrimination from the Iranian villagers and disdain from Habib, a fellow Afghani to whose trust Djomeh was given. The only person who shows any friendliness to him is his employer, who Djomeh asks to intercede for him in asking a woman from the village for her hand in marriage.

Djomeh

A bus with darkened windows drives through the Iranian mountains into border country. Two men hand over money and get on board, joining masked illegal refugees hoping for a better life beyond the border. The new passengers are a director and cameraman who want to make a documentary about them. The refugees suspicions melt when the director persuades soldiers who stop the bus that the refugees are actors in his film. But then the border looms.
