But when Shirin suffers a sudden heart attack and requires urgent surgery, Saba is left devastated and desperate to save her.

The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September last year and has since travelled to nearly a dozen prestigious internationaly festivals, including Busan, Red Sea, Gothenburg, Sydney, and Raindance.
