An enthusiastic and amateur theatrical group finds the opportunity to perform abroad which is a great success. Sheherazad, a desperate girl, joins the group and takes the leading role in the play. She decides, unlike her other fellow actors to tell the truth to her father. He is against this trip. The group is now in a dilemma: replace her or.

"Bending the Rules" is the story of the third generation of the Iranian Revolution that does not want to compromise on their principles and rights with their parents.
