Synopsis

In a remote mountainous Kurdish region of Iran, elderly Kurdish carpenter Hussein Mahmood trudges through snow in search of wood. In a land scarred by landmines, many have lost their legs—Hussein crafts wooden prosthetics to help them walk again. Observed by squirrels and surrounded by majestic nature, he transforms raw tree trunks into limbs, working in quiet harmony with the world around him.
