Three seasons. No summer.The painter and the school supervisor once lived together. Then they split up because the painter wanted to live by his art, come what may, but his paintings didn’t sell. The supervisor wanted to have a baby before it was too late. Neither of them managed to start over again. Living alone was cheaper all the same. He took a 40 square meter flat, she went back to live with her father after her mother’s death. School heads have recently been given the right to set their own tuition fees. The head of this school has decided that to justify the price rise, she’ll have the school redecorated and  propose new activities for the students. The supervisor has been put in charge of the redecorating.Since she doesn’t know anybody in Tehran, she thinks of the painter. His job is to paint over the slogans and maxims that have covered the walls of the school yard ever since the Revolution 20 years ago, and to replace them with some paintings and more up-to-date inscriptions. After whitewashing the walls, he has two months to finish the job. But the work drags on. Money is short, the painter is taking his time.

Every day, an hour before school is out, a mother comes to sit on the merry-go-round in the yard, waiting for the bell to ring. She and the painter strike up a conversation that they carry on day by day. Until one day the mother discovers that the painter is painting her portrait on the wall.
