In this striking, haunting narrative, Mr. Yaghmaei, an archaeologist excavating in the southern region of Iran with his wife and son, finds the skeleton of a young, pregnant woman who still carries the remains of her unborn child. While he is still pursuing his excavations, the archaeologist's wife dies of an incurable genetic disease which in turn afflicts their adult son. Through a series of touching sequences portraying the familial love of father and son, the two story lines mingle, and finally entwine, conveying the resilience of the human condition.
