The film revolves around the life and work of Latif Al Ani, an acclaimed photographer who captured the beauty of Iraq before the devastation of war. Latif's photographs from the past serve as a window into a world long gone, prompting him to embark on a journey across his country in search of the people and places he once immortalized through his lens.

As Latif travels, he shares his stunning photographs with fellow Iraqis who no longer recognize the vibrant and prosperous Iraq that he reveals to them.
