Beitollah, a devout middle-aged man, becomes convinced that a recurring dream about a box of gold hidden deep inside a cave is a divine message meant for him. Bound by his strict religious interpretation—which forbids him from touching the treasure—he hires Shoja, a young non-believer, to retrieve it on his behalf. Their journey across Iran, from misty northern forests to vast southern deserts, becomes far more than a search for treasure. It draws in strangers, awakens hidden desires, and blurs the line between faith and illusion.

As the men travel, the promise of gold begins to shift in meaning, revealing their opposing worldviews and the personal longings they try to hide. Their quest turns into an allegorical exploration of belief, greed, and the fragile hope that something extraordinary might redeem an ordinary life. When they finally reach the cave, what awaits them is not simply a discovery but a reckoning—one that forces both men to confront the cost of chasing miracles and the truths they have been avoiding. Description adapted from Venera Films.
