What it is about
On a winter night, in the northernmost reaches of the world, Ali, an Iranian writer living in exile, retreats with his former lover, Nazanin, to a glass cabin beneath the northern lights. There, in the silence of the polar night, he intends to say goodbye. Despite facing a long prison sentence, Ali has decided to return to Iran — to continue the struggle he once left behind.
