A look at the lives of teenage girls in an Iranian juvenile detention center. Each of the film’s principal subjects is serving time for the murder of a male family member. One by one, the filmmaker invites them to go into a room alone, push the red button on the camera and address their accomplices or their victims. What results is a picture of the disenfranchised in an aggressively male-dominated society and of the prison that is their shelter from it.
