In the winter of 1979, Nabeel Yasin, a renowned young poet in Iraq, escapes with his family due to the oppressive regime of the Ba'ath Party. After enduring severe violence from the Secret Police and being labeled an "enemy of the state," he realizes that remaining in Baghdad would lead to his demise. The story highlights themes of survival, the struggle for freedom of expression, and the personal costs of political persecution.
