What happens in Cease Fire from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In this witty, relationship-driven comedy-drama, Sayeh [Mahnaz Afshar] and her husband Yousef [Mohammad Reza Golzar] are a couple as stubborn as they are clever, constantly pushing each other with outrageous dares and a string of playful, though pointed, pranks. Their home becomes a stage for a never-ending contest of will, where each scene ups the ante in a friendly yet fiercely competitive battle to one-up the other. The humor often comes from the way they dress up their disagreements as adventures, turning everyday squabbles into mini spectacles that reveal how deeply they know one another—and how hard it can be to let go of a perfect comeback.
