In September 1980, the Iran-Iraq War broke out, and the extremist Saddam ordered an attack on Abadan, the world's largest oil storage and refining base. Amidst the gunfire and incessant bombings, a fourteen-year-old boy witnesses the devastation and carnage in his war-torn hometown. Together with his dear friend and family, he struggles to survive, enduring great hardships, and boards a lifeboat akin to Noah's Ark. Will they be able to preserve their lives and escape this besieged city? The director has primarily focused on creating documentaries and narrative films for many years and has received multiple awards. This time, he retells the countless casualties of the Iran-Iraq War through animation from a young boy's perspective, inviting us to imagine the war, the wails of the besieged civilians, and the mournful songs sung by the souls of the departed.
