Under the shadow of the US invasion, an extended Afghan refugee family begins their new lives in Iran unaware of the ultimate price expected of them as outliers in this (un)welcoming environment: Mohammad, a young teenager and promising student; Leila, a woman isolated by geography, and Qasem who bears the weight of his family's sacrifice.

Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express It's quite evidently a character-focused film, and each of the three leads is dealt with empathy, leaving one affected and moved by their plight and boundless tragedy. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The treatment of Afghan immigrants in Iran make for a compelling, heartrending subject in Raha Amirfazli and Alireza Ghasemi’s decades-spanning beauty. Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com The filmmakers leave you wondering whether Iran will ever truly embrace these people as brothers and, in the end, if it was even worth the price they paid. Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Thoughtful and stripped of sensationalism, each story and its wider implications bite deep. Rated: 4/5 Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Well made but all three stories are very depressing and it might have been nice to throw in one with a little bit of hope for a little bit of variety Rated: 5/10 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review The stories all subtly intertwine and the filmmakers handle potential melodrama with sensitivity and skilled direction. A quietly impressive portmanteau. Rated: 4 Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
