Synopsis

A Baghdad family struggles under constant pressures in post-Iraq-war. The father Salih finds himself consumed by anger and fear. His wife Kerima wants to run-off with their houseguest, a nameless hitman. Their young son Muhanad wants nothing more than to go to school, but is forced to work shining shoes on the street. He feverishly studies his math workbook as bombs explode in the distance. And his sister, who has not spoken for days, tenuously grasps for her stepmother's hand as a gesture of her anxiety and panic.
