Ali visits the cemetery of the city of Halabja, in the Kurdish northern Iraq, and remains silent in front of a tombstone with his own scratched name upon. After 21 years, he returned from Iran to his native city Halabja looking for his lost parents. Five families on the other hand hope him to be their missing child. Amongst them are the primary school teacher and artist Fakhradin, who lost five children due to the poison gas attack of Saddam Hussein upon Halabja in 1988. Two of them are known to be missing in Iran. One of them could be Ali.
