Synopsis: Young Lateef works on a Tehran construction site with fellow Iranians and a few illegal Afghan workers. When Lateef is given heavier tasks to accommodate new Afghan worker Rahmat, he resents his displacement and treats Rahmat cruelly. After committing one of his pranks, though, Lateef discovers Rahmat's secret--he is a woman. Lateef's heart softens, then, and he shows new affection for Rahmat by doing what he can to ease the hardships she suffers at work. In Farsi with English subtitles.
