A personal journey that departs from loss and follows a river to meet Baghdad, the film travels through shared family memory, a collage of stories and archival footage that provide a glimpse of Iraq's modern history and its defeated dreams of a modern and just society. The journey is guided by a familiar voice from the past, found on an old audiotape in an abandoned box, to a new exposition of 'home'.See less
