Singing Wings

Storyline

Khadijeh, an elderly Kurdish woman from Iran, has two pressing tasks - one, to care for a stork whose wings were injured by high-voltage wires and left behind; and two, to dissuade her daughter from emigrating to the UK. In her mind, there is no contradiction between helping the wounded bird migrate and preventing her own daughter from migrating. It’s just that they cannot be achieved by willpower alone. And of the two, changing her daughter’s mind is far more difficult.
