Synopsis
With her father missing, Saba is the sole caregiver to her paraplegic mother, Shirin, who suffers from acute heart disease. Although Shirin’s condition binds them together, her frustration with their situation often manifests as bitterness and anger towards her daughter, so they live in their own separate worlds. When Shirin has a heart attack, Saba has to sell their home in order to pay for her mom’s heart surgery. As her mother’s death approaches, Saba faces a life-altering transformation.
