Mam Baldar is a very unusual postman, who, for many years, has traveled among the mountainous villages of Iraqi Kurdistan recording and delivering people`s messages. One day, a partisan commander asks him to make a recording of his newborn child`s first cry. Mam sets off to find the commander`s village and, once there, is informed that all the children in the area, as well as the commander`s pregnant wife, have been evacuated to a far-off valley. With steely determination, Mam at once heads out for the valley.
