Soodeh, a teenage schoolgirl, starts to have feelings for her schoolmate Atena, a girl who tends to be indifferent toward her. Meanwhile, the school basketball coach finds out about Soodeh's feelings for Atena, gets jealous of them, and attempts to take advantage of her, threatening to report this forbidden love affair to the school principal if Soodeh continues ignoring her. Soodeh is desperate and in the end seems to find no solution other than surrender to the coach's will because she may get expelled and doomed by her parents if word spreads. (Dir.: Marjan Hashemi, Iran, 2020, 14 min., Persian with English subtitles)
