From the acclaimed director of A TIME FOR DRUNKEN HORSES comes a road movie with a playful sense of humour that defies what we have come to expect from Iranian cinema. During the Iran-Iraq war, an ageing Iranian-Kurd musician hears that his wife, a singer with a magical voice who deserted him for his best friend and fled to Iraq, is in trouble. He cons his two adult sons into accompanying him on the search for her, and they embark on an adventure filled with music, romance and danger. Ghobadi uses humour and wit to explore some of the most important dilemmas confronting contemporary Kurdish society.
