After a radio interview, a political activist experiences a sudden blackout, triggering memories of a painful childhood in Iran. The story of her father and his fate forms the foundation of this narrative about how oppression leaves deep scars on those who live a life of resistance, long after the events themselves have passed. A depiction of the struggle for understanding, how people carry history in their bodies, and how hidden wounds eventually demand to be seen.
