The Scent of Joseph's Shirt

The film centers on Daei Ghafur, a father who cannot accept the death of his son during the Iran-Iraq conflict from 1980 to 1988. Despite the overwhelming evidence, he clings to the belief that his son is still alive. His life takes a turn when he encounters Shirin, a young woman who has traveled from Europe in search of her missing brother, Khosrow, a soldier lost in the war.

Together, Daei and Shirin embark on a quest to find their loved ones, navigating the pain and uncertainty that war brings. Through their search, the film delves into the themes of familial bonds, the impact of war on personal lives, and the enduring hope that accompanies loss. The narrative is driven by the powerful performances of the cast, including Niki Karimi and Ali Nasirian, who bring depth to their characters' struggles.
