Heiran portrays the story of a young rural girl in war stricken Iran, who falls in love with a gallant Afghan refugee. With the use of real footage of illegal immigrants and refugee camps, the film depicts how Afghans rights are being trampled, and mirrors this with the situation of the characters of the story. Tale's poignant expression of parental hopes, fears and disappointments will strike a universal chord.
