Mahmoud (Homayoun Ershadi) is a successful writer and intellectual who retreats to his family's rural estate in order to overcome a severe case of writer's block. While there, he begins to contemplate his life, comparing it to a pear tree in the yard that has stopped producing fruit. From there, the film chronicles Mahmoud's memories of the past, including his love for his adolescent cousin and his fervent hopes for the future.
