This extraordinary and moving film is set against the climate of 2003 Iraq and the fall of Saddam, and tells a very beautiful story. Kurdish soldiers Rashid and Azad are celebrating the toppling of Saddam's statue in Baghdad, before being ordered to take food supplies to their comrades. On the way, they come across a lost little Iraqi boy called Saddam, crying at the side of the road. While Azad treats the boy kindly, Rashid is hostile, until a terrible tragedy forces Rashid to make an extremely tough decision.
