On a holy mountain in the depths of Persia there is a cave with a mysterious
cuneiform carving deep inside it. Aga Akbar, a deaf-mute boy from the mountain,
develops his own private script from these symbols and writes passionately of
his life, his family and his efforts to make sense of the changes the twentieth
century brings to his country. Exiled in Holland a generation later, Akbar's son
Ishmael struggles to decipher the notebook, reflecting how his own political
activities have forced him to flee his country and abandon his family. As he
gets closer to the heart of his father's story, he unravels the intricate tale
of how the silent world of a village carpet-mender was forced to give way to one
where the increasingly hostile environment of modern Iran has brought the family
both love and sacrifice.
