In the wake of the Persian Gulf War, an elderly Kurdish
singer becomes concerned about the safety of his former wife and sets out
with his two sons to find her, regardless of the fact that she left him
two decades prior for another man. This smart combination of humor and
social criticism from Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi examines both the
beauty and humor in kinship and the devastating affects of war. Screened
at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. In Kurdish with English subtitles.
