18th-century Persia. In a brutal conquest of a city sheltering the falling king, all the men are blinded. The women find themselves among men who can no longer see. Now, free from past traditions and oppressions, they build a utopia. They deceive the king's tax collectors on their monthly visits by wearing hijab and hiding behind the blind men, who are now mere shells of their former selves.
