The Secret of Kowkab

Amid the turmoil of the Iranian Revolution, a young woman named Kokab is killed during street clashes. Her parents, Rahmat and Narges, who work as gardeners in a park, report their daughter’s disappearance to the authorities. During the investigation, officials discover that Kokab had been involved in anti-monarchy activities and was killed. The couple are subsequently evicted from their home. Some time later, a young woman named Maryam informs them of their daughter’s fate. Despite their efforts, Rahmat and Narges are unable to locate Kokab’s burial site.
