In 1980, more than two million Afghani flee the war and took refuge in Iran. But my family is different, we cross the country for another reason: to find my big brother, who disappeared when he was a teenager. For the Afghani refugee community in Iran, where I grew up, every family story is filled with loss, secrets, and absences. “Dream of Grape Garden” is the story of a woman who wants to find her lost son, told by her daughter who wants to emancipate from her community. This is also the story of two women trying to survive in a patriarchal and oppressive context.
