description: One autumn day in London, the dark and troubled past of Maryam Mazar surfaces violently - with tragic consequences for her pregnant daughter, Sara. Racked with guilt, Maryam is compelled to leave her home and husband to return to Mazareh, the remote Iranian village where her story began. There, among the snow-capped mountains and wind-swept plains, she is confronted by her own devastating memories and by the love of a man she was forced to leave behind. Together, Maryam and Sara must face the past and choose their future.
