Nahid is fifty and diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is expected to live only another six months. She is in a reflective mood and recounts her life. The story is pretty harsh. As a young woman, she joined the revolution in Iran. When faced with the backlash, she and her boyfriend left for Sweden where they were given asylum. The boyfriend turned into a husband who beat her and the daughter they had together suffered from their bad relationship. She never felt like she belonged in Sweden, missing her home and her family. Now her daughter is pregnant. She wants to live to meet her grandchild but her health is failing fast. Will she make it?
