Shohre is in her early thirties, divorced and a car enthusiast. She works as a taxi driver in the Iranian city of Kermanshah. While male colleagues and passengers sometimes lack the necessary respect, women are proud to take a seat next to a woman at the wheel. On her routes, Shohre repeatedly has surprising encounters and exchanges of words with passengers - even with the supposed man of her dreams. She promotes an old woman whose daughter is in prison for standing up to her abusive boss; Shohre's neighbor was left by her husband for a younger woman; her cousin, who is also divorced, is in despair because her ex-husband refuses to allow her to visit their daughter. Despite disappointments, Shohre himself does not give up.
