An exile for fighting against authority, Ahmed, in a small village on the border of Iran and Afghanistan takes on the role of a teacher when Iranian guards bar him from entering the country. Thus begins a harsh parable about commitments to political ideology, religion and our loved ones in the unforgiving desert. Everything is driven by Ahmed's desire to do the right thing, despite an oppressive system. The provocative co-production film is an extremely well-crafted drama-thriller and was awarded at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
