Synopsis:
Since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, the number of Afghan immigrants in Iran has exceeded 3.5 million. The young generation of Afghan immigrants was born and grew up in Iran. Most of them have never been to Afghanistan. But old and young alike, the Afghan folks are born with songs. They sing for everything, for love, for sorrow and for their wish to live with full passion. Should they stay or should they go, where do they belong? This is the dilemma they are struggling with every day, which also finds its way into the songs composed by the young generation. There is no obvious answer, and the dilemma will not disappear. Hesitation, pain, farewell and even death may accompany each step they take. Rohollah Nikpa managed to obtain the first historic medal for Afghanistan at the Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing, in Taekwondo. He was one of the refugees who started his sport as a kid in Iran and since he went back to Afghanistan after the Taliban he could become a member of the National Taekwondo team. But his fellow sport man Mustafa in Iran chose a different path.
