After fleeing his home as a boy for freedom in the West, Afghan-Dutch filmmaker Dawood Hilmandi returns years later to confront his father, an imam with a violent past. In a journey through Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, ”Paikar” explores the invisible inheritance of war and silence that shapes generations, and invites us to rediscover the tenderness that endures within even the most hardened souls.
