This story is very simple. An arrogant boy falls in love with a beautiful girl. But the girl has a very tragic secret, one that leads to a devastating outcome for all people involved. And than there is the older brother with prophetic visions and his handicap due to a landmine. Will he be able to save his sad sister from her downfall? Or is he just as powerless as anyone else? I felt that this is an important story to be told to the western world; one that shows how our interference in Iraq simply can't take away the sad stories of its people. It is about the effect of war on children and how it leads to the loss of innocence. The cast is mainly filled with child actors, and though their acting is as mediocre as you can expect from inexperienced actors, they do feel natural and authentic. It helps that these children ARE the ones who suffered under Saddam and the aftermath of the war on terrorism.
