In 1940s Tehran, young Saeed falls hopelessly in love with his cousin Leili, the daughter of his paranoid uncle, Colonel Daei Jan Napoleon — a man obsessed with the idea that the British are behind every misfortune. As Saeed struggles to win Leili’s heart amid a web of family feuds, absurd scandals, and mistaken conspiracies, the household spirals into chaos. What begins as a love story turns into a biting satire of pride, paranoia, and the crumbling illusions of an aristocratic family convinced that the whole world is plotting against them.
