SPLIT ENDS
A bald girl and a young boy with long hair are both facing a problem with the Tehran Morality Police. Police surveillance cameras have mistaken the boy for a woman because of his long hair and confiscated his car, and the young girl, despite her shaved head, has to pay a fine for not properly wearing hijab. Feeling humiliated by the police officer, they decide to punish him in their own way.
