Summary
1979. Olivia Murray, a secretary at a Los Angeles newspaper, is determined to become a photojournalist. When opportunity arrives, she seizes it, accompanying her Kurdish boyfriend, Delan, to northern Iraq for a family wedding, hoping to capture an image that lands her a job in the photo department. More important, though, the trip is a chance to understand Delan's childhood and bridge the differences of their pasts. The trip proves less safe than Delan believed, and Olivia is confronted with a reality she had not expected: the dangers of a town patrolled by Iraqi military and under curfew and constant threat. When Olivia captures a tragic moment on film, it upends all their lives.--, Adapted from jacket
