Middle Eastern drama, nominated at Festival de Cannes 2013, set at the borders of Iran, Turkey and Iraq where illegal trafficking thrives.

There he meets Govend, a defiant, independent woman who has come to work as the teacher in the newly-opened school despite her 12 brothers' hostility to the idea.
