In the wake of the Persian Gulf War, an elderly Kurdish singer becomes concerned about the safety of his former wife and sets out with his two sons to find her, regardless of the fact that she left him two decades prior for another man. This smart combination of humor and social criticism from Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi examines both the beauty and humor in kinship and the devastating affects of war.
