A number of inmates from a reformatory school are scheduled for release. As a condition for their discharge, it is specified that the younger boys should live either with their families or in government supervision centers. On the appointed date, however, Mohsen Ghaderi's parents do not show up to take their son. Another boy, meanwhile, Sohrab, an orphan, is not accepted in the government supervision centers. The film depicts the real lives of these two young boys among other inmates of the reformatory school. The past, the present and whatever is destined to happen in the future are what this film is all about. The causes of crime, the roles the family and society play, and the efforts to re-educate juvenile delinquents at reformatory school are of particular interest in the film.

Baran es la historia de refugiados afganos contada a través de los ojos de Lateef (Hossein Abedini), un iraní adolescente. Mientras él y otros iranís pelean para llevar acabo un encuentro, los refugiados afganos pueden apenas sobrevivir, ya que ellos no pueden trabajar legalmente. Lateef, con un gran corazón pero un pícaro, trabaja como portero en una construcción, proporcionando té y comida a los trabajadores afganos que trabajan ilegalmente por un salario escaso. El jefe, un hombre amable pero frugal llamado Memar (Mohammad Amir Naji), le paga a Lateef una pequeña parte de sueldo semanal, y retiene el resto de su sueldo alegando que es por su propio bien. Cuando un trabajador afgano, Najaf, sufre una caída en la construcción, no puede decir a las autoridades dónde o cómo se ha herido, debido a su estado de trabajador ilegal. Este incidente amenaza los puestos de trabajo de todo el mundo.
