Plot

Ehteram Sadat and Forugh are neighbor. Their sons disappeared during war and they have been waiting for their dead bodies for almost thirty years.

Foroogh and Ehteram are two old ladies with a close bond and a shared sense of loss. While they have been neighbors for more than 40 years, both their sons were also declared missing in action over 20 years ago. When Etheram is suddenly given the news that parts of her son's body have been found, she feels relief at finally knowing the truth. Yet she wants the same relief for Foroogh, who is struggling with a serious condition and has only a few months left to live. In a unique story of persistence, love and loss, Etheram sets out to make the authorities tell Foroogh that the body parts belong to her own son. But can Etheram find peace of mind for her dear friend after her 20 year wait?
