The story focuses on a Koranic student, Seyed, who has just moved to Tehran with his wife, Zahra, and two small children. When Zahra is diagnosed with a debilitating disease, Seyed must learn about things he's never considered, including cooking, shopping, and diaper changing. He studies by day and at night assumes Zahra's former task of weaving rugs, which actually supports the family. With the help of some of his new neighbors, he cares for his wife. If Seyed struggles more than he'd ever anticipated, he also benefits: the young man's daily experience deepens his understanding of the sacred text he's studying. A parable about hope, understanding and the transformative power of love.
