Synopsis
A young girl, a student of literature, wrestles with a spiritual crisis after reading the story of a 5th-century mystic who lost everything in a fire--the book is a legacy from Assad, Pari's older brother, who committed suicide by burning himself alive. While her second brother Safa remains a recluse in the country, her youngest sibling Dadashy tries to dissuade her from following Assad's path and attempts to resurrect her taste for life.
