In the shadow of the American invasion, an extended Afghan refugee family begins their new lives in Iran, unaware of the ultimate price that will be expected of them as outliers in this (in)hospitable environment: Mohammad, a young teenager and promising student; Leila, a woman isolated by geography; and Qasem, bearing the weight of his family's sacrifice.
