In 1997, 17-year-old Jalil Nazari leaves a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and finds refuge in Iran, where he survives doing odd jobs. One day, luck comes his way and he lands the starring role in an Iranian feature film. The film, "Djomeh", directed by Hassan Yektapanah, is selected for the 2000 Cannes Film Festival where it wins the Golden Camera award, thus hurtling Jali towards unexpected horizons.
