How it feels

During the Iran-Iraq war, a wounded Iraqi officer and two young soldiers lose their way and seek shelter in a remote cottage. The cottage belongs to an old man, his wife, and their grandson, whose son is away fighting. The officer acts aggressively toward the family, but one of the soldiers believes humanity should continue outside the battlefield. A quiet friendship grows between that soldier and the grandson.
