Berlin’s winter becomes a witness to a letter never delivered. On a cold morning, a cyclist finds a letter left behind, written by an Iranian forced into exile and addressed to his family far away. As she reads, another face of the city reveals itself, confronting her with the pain beneath the surface. Moving between documentary observation and fictional scenes, the film becomes an attempt to confront the meaning of home once it has been left behind.
World premiere in the Short Film Competition at the 42nd Warsaw International Film Festival. 9–18 October 2026.
