on a story by Reza Maghsoodi with cinematography by Mohammad
Aladpoush. Plot summary: When Farhad [Parsa Pirouzfar] was wounded in
the war he temporarily lost his sight and was transferred to a field
hospital. A nurse there named Sheida [Leila Hatami] was impressed by
his determination to recover and found she was able to comfort him by
reading to him from the Koran. The two became emotionally attached to
each other but were separated when Farhad was released from the
hospital. Farhad went back to the front looking for Sheida, but the

thinking of leaving Iran. When it became clear that an old war wound
was threatening Farhad's health his fiance broke their engagement and
left the country. Farhad was hospitalized at a hospital where Sheida
was working, but he did not see her. Then upon the insistence of
Farhad's mother Sheida read the Koran to him again and with the
help of love she was able to restore his health.
