Synopsis

Zaman and his wife have always lived in the marshy region south of Iraq. They made their life near the water in their cane house. Their home stood in front of all the storms that destroyed Iraq just like the rare palm trees in the region. One day, Zaman discovers that his wife suffers from a weird disease caused by war. The unique doctor in town tells Zaman that he has to go to Baghdad to try and find the cure.
