After 21 years, Ali returned from Iran to Bashur-Kurdistan, in the city of his birth, Halabja, to look for his family. Five families hope he is their missing child. This is also the case with the family of the elementary school teacher and artist Fachradin, who lost five children in the poison gas attack by Saddam Hussein on Halabja in 1988. Two of them are missing in Iran... is Ali the prodigal son?
