Description

In a small Iraqi village caught in the throes of the Iran-Iraq war, an impoverished peasant family struggles to survive under the shadow of a totalitarian dictatorship.

Through their resilience and quiet acts of defiance, the family's story illuminates the enduring human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardship. The narrative delves into themes of survival, family bonds, and the search for dignity amidst chaos.
