“Zaman”
is a sweet and sad story about love and devotion,
hope and fear. Zaman (Sami Kaftan), and his wife,
Najma (Shatha Salim), have built their happy life
together in their house of reeds and, though childless,
adopted a boy, Yacine (Hussein Imad), orphaned by
the 1991 Gulf War. They have lived a quiet, contented
existence until Najma falls ill. The local doctor
tells them she needs surgery or some special medicine
he does not have. And so Zaman sets off in his small
boat and journeys up the Tigris to Baghdad in search
of the precious cure. Thus begins the journey of
salvation and discovery for “Zaman, the Man
from the Reeds.”
