In the moonlight (film)

Seyid studies at a spiritual school, but has doubts about the correctness of the chosen path. By the graduation ceremony, he is buying shoes and cloth for clothes. In the subway, things are stolen by a boy nicknamed Chicken, who sells chewing gum and drugs. Seid manages to find the thief, and he promises to give things when Seyid comes to his haven under the automobile bridge.

Seyd arrives at the appointed place and waits for Chicken. There he meets his five homeless comrades, watches their lives and sees their problems. Chicken does not come.

The next day, Seyed sells part of the books and buys food for the homeless. Chicken appears and at night steals Seid's things from his comrades.

After one of the graduation ceremonies, Seyid decides to return his clothes to the homeless. But under the bridge, construction work is underway and the homeless are disappearing. Seyid finds Chicken’s sister in the trash, who was a prostitute and decided to commit suicide by poisoning with drugs. Seyid takes her to the hospital.

Seyid decides to leave school. One of the comrades brings him his clothes, which some woman (Chicken's sister) asked to give.
