Sembra Mio Figlio

Just Like My Son

Synopsis

– Who are you?
– I am your son, İsmail.
– I don’t have any sons, named İsmail.

Ismail is a man living in Europe with his brother Hassan since their childhood. The brothers managed to escape the Taliban persecution in Afghanistan during the first years of the new millennium. Their mother who has never lost the hope of hearing from her children again, does not know them. After several uneasy phone calls, Ismail will face the fate of his family, the meaninglessness of the war and the history of his people. At the same time, like every child, he will take care of his mother who is his first love.
