Synopsis
Two years after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, a former Iranian volunteer named Saeed arrives in Germany seeking medical care for his eyes which had been badly damaged during an Iraqi chemical attack against Iranian forces. While Saeed is in a hospital in Cologne, his sister, Leila, who lives with her German husband in the city, comes to pay him a vist. Their reunion is one of nostalgia, full of wistful longing for their common past. Saeed recovers his eyesight, but, having been exposed to chemical attacks, he is now suffering from a terminal illness.
