What's the Time in Your World? is about that The film begins with Goli (Hatami) landing at Tehran airport for her first visit to her hometown Rasht in two decades.

At the bus terminal at Rasht she's greeted by the local frame-maker Farhad (Hatami's husband Mosaffa, also producer here), who puts her in a taxi. He clearly knows her (they seem to have a private window tap greeting), but Goli is baffled, convinced she's never met Farhad in her life.
