According to the Mehr Theatre Group website, the play is set in the yard of a Tehran primary school over the nine months of a school year. To justify a rise in fees, the head wants the school redecorated, and the supervisor brings in a painter she once lived with, now separated from her, to cover the slogans left on the yard walls since the Revolution and paint new pictures in their place. The work drags on, and every day a pupil's mother sits on the yard's merry-go-round before the last bell and talks with the painter, until she discovers that he is painting her portrait on the wall. As Dominique Mussche notes in RTBF, the old slogans still show through the new paint at the end.
