A Song for Love
Directed by Hogir Hirori
Twenty-one-year-old nursing student Ibrahim is a dervish in Iraqi Kurdistan. He lives and works as a singer and general helper within a religious collective marked by humility, spiritual discipline and devotion to Allah. Through his poetic songs, he gives voice to his innermost feelings – his wish to marry the woman he loves and his anxiety about being able to support his ageing parents – while facing the high demands imposed by both his studies and his faith.
