On the southern coast of Iran, the poverty-stricken population with nowhere to live take over a derelict oil tanker for an abode. Captain Nemat commandeers the ship. He endeavors, at all costs, to dissuade the owners of the vessel and naval authorities from expropriating the tanker. His main interest lies in continuing to control his own trade dealings inside the ship, including selling off parts of the actual structure of the boat. The impoverished community carry on in their day-to-day life with no idea as to what their fate may be. This is a story where the main characters, in a state of ignorance, are led to trust others, ready to take full advantage and exploit them.
