(mild spoilers) A woman loses her house due to non-payment of taxes, but it's a mistake. An Iranian immigrant buys it at the auction and plans to live there for a short while and then resell it for a much bigger price. The woman tries in various ways to have the house back.
(mild spoilers) Considering it exclusively from the dramatic angle, it has some interest for the array of characters it portrays and their conflicting interests; however, it must be pointed out that seldom has a film exhibited such an enormous amount of plot implausibilities or downright absurdities. I don't want to make an exhaustive list, but here is a small sample. The government could never have taken her house and simultaneously kept all the money of the sale, which is far more than the debt she held; the financial situation of the Iranian guy is very confusing as it appears he works as a construction worker in addition to a job as a shopkeeper (or perhaps he is the shop owner?), and lives in a big apartment; the price he pays for the house at the auction is unrealistically low; etc. Behavioral implausibilities also abound (one screaming example is when they keep a woman who made a suicide attempt in their house and do not call 911).
