Normally, it would be apple blossom time in occupied Iraq. But nothing flowers in the Kurdish town of Halabja since the poison gas attack 20 years ago. Apothecary Yusuf works for a German relief organisation and is in love with teacher Sara, chronically ill and dependent on medicine. As her jealous 15-year-old pupil Rizgar kidnaps Yusuf, Sara’s supply of medicine dwindles. Rizgar wants to put Yusuf to trial: didn’t the Germans supply the gas for the attack? But today they supply medicine…
