In 1984, over two million Afghans fled to Iran to escape the Soviet-Afghan War. Among them, one family embarked on a unique journey: searching for a missing teenage son. Dream of Grape Gardens follows the intertwined stories of a mother and daughter, each on individual journeys marked by unspoken words as they navigate their personal and familial quests. Set against the backdrop of the Afghan exodus, the film explores the hardships of displaced communities shaped by war, migration, and loss, while highlighting their resilience in the face of adversity.
