‘Namme – Zaza Khalvashi’

Ali's family has inherited a mission - taking care of a local healing water and curing sick villagers with it. The three sons are sceptical and only the young daughter Namme stays as the guardian of family traditions. Meanwhile a hydro power station is being constructed nearby and environmental changes are at stake. One day, the spring water starts to disappear. Father remembers the old tradition: the water will not return unless a sacrifice is made.
