Als ein Partisanenkommandant ihn bittet, ihm den ersten Schrei seines neugeborenen Kindes aufzunehmen, macht sich der Postbote auf die Suche nach der hochschwangeren Frau, die zur Sicherheit in ein entferntes Tal gebracht wurde. Drama vor dem Hintergrund der Ende der 1980er-Jahre von Saddam Husseins Truppen verübten Massaker an der kurdischen Bevölkerung. Dabei vermittelt der Film das allgegenwärtige Grauen durch subtile Andeutungen und Details. |
