Salt and Fire
A question that was buried for a lifetime comes up when a daughter and her father bond over the memories of a home left behind… Father, why did you leave Kurdistan? His answers are typical of what any Kurdish father would give: poetic stories with rich images. Only in the corners of the answers hide the dark shadows of the past, the real reasons he might not dare to uncover.
