During the Iran-Iraq War, Shideh is trying to hold life together in a Tehran apartment with her young daughter when a missile strikes their building and a neighbor warns that it may have carried a djinn with it. Narges Rashidi is Shideh, increasingly isolated as air raids and unexplained disturbances close in around her. Avin Manshadi’s Dorsa becomes the focus of the presence Shideh fears is inside the apartment, as missing objects, restless nights, and the threat outside the walls start to merge into one terror inside the home.
