Summary

After Saddam’s collapse in Iraq, childhood friends Hussein and Alan decide to produce a film about the Al Anfal Kurdish genocide. But making a film in post-war Kurdistan isn’t easy and reveals itself as an odyssey. The most difficult task of all seems to find a lead actress. But in the moment they think that they will never find her, suddenly Sinor enters the stage: young, beautiful and passionate about the project, since her own childhood was deeply affected by the Al Anfal campaign and by the main location, the old prison where the film will be shot at. But Sinor cannot decide on her own: Her cousin HIWA and his father, Uncle Hamid control her fate. However something seems to be pushing Sinor to play in the film, even as it becomes clear that the only way to achieve this is by a marriage-deal with cousin Hiwa whom she doesn’t love.
