This film is based on true events. Abdol-Hamid is a young man who lives on the border of Iran and Pakistan. He falls in love with a young girl (Faezeh) from Tehran and they decide to get married. But Abdol-Hamid’s brother, Abdol-Majid, who has been trained by Al-Qaeda forces in Pakistan, opposes their marriage. Disregarding his opposition, Hamid and Faezeh get married and have a child.
After two years, Abdol-Majid, who is now known as Abdol-Malek Rigi and is the leader of the Jundallah terrorist group in south-east Iran and across the border in Pakistan, gets his entire family - including his brothers - involved in his terrorist activities, committing armed offensives and suicide attacks in Iran and Pakistan.
Faezeh and Hamid decide to immigrate to Europe to get away from Iranian intelligence forces. They travel to Pakistan along with Faezeh’s brother, in order to apply for asylum in Europe from the UN office in Pakistan. But their asylum process is slow, and during this time Abdol-Hamid gradually gets drawn into his brother’s terrorist group. Abdol-Hamid and Abdol-Malek Rigi’s religious extremism overpowers love, and Faezeh and her brother ultimately become victims of their fanaticism.
