Amid the US invasion, Mohammad, Leila, and Qasem—three members of an extended Afghan family—try to start over in Iran as refugees, unaware that decades will pass before they feel “at home”.

“This profoundly moving fiction, distinguished by remarkable aesthetics, held our full attention. Through its work on sound, direction, and staging, the storytelling captivates. The striking harmony between content and form is evident: here, imagery resonates more powerfully than words, immersing us in an original, innovative approach to the theme of migration—a subject as timely as it is crucial. Regardless of gender, age, or background, each character affects us with the force of their emotions and the honesty of their experiences, awakening a deep sense of empathy. To highlight their courage, solidarity, and hope, we have chosen to honour this masterfully realised film.“
