I watched this film during the Kurdish Film Festival in London.
It's evidently a very low budget movie and judging it from this perspective, we can only admire the director who was able to produce such a touching picture. Beautiful pictures of Iraq contrast with the cruel extermination of the Kurdish nation by Saddam's regime. But we don't get to see the cruelty directly, but rather only the "beforehands" and the "afterwards" which is a very genuine and powerful idea and a brilliant way to cope with the money limitations.
The final scene is truly touching but the film never crosses the line of sentimentalism. Recommended.
