Synopsis
Abbas, a combatant of the imposed war who
is now engaged in farming, arrives in Tehran along with
his wife for the medical treatment of a wound in his
neck. At the bus terminal, Abbas meets a wartime
commander, Haj Kazem, who decides to keep Abbas company
during his treatment. Medical tests reveal the
presence of
a tiny Shrapnel part near
Abbas's artery. In view of the critical surgical
operation that has to be carried out, the doctors offer
two recommendations. First, Abbas has to travel to
a country where adequate medical facilities are
available for the hazardous operation. And second,
Abbas must try not to get excited as that might cause
the Shrapnel part to be dislodged and moved.
He should try to laugh, even forcibly, in case he gets
excited. To arrange for Abbas'
trip abroad, everything is
done in great haste. However, all this is
concurrent with the arrival of the New Year, and that
creates a number of obstacles for the
wounded combatant's trip. |
