Dawn of the World

This is where Mastour and Zahra grow up. Being cousins, they are married very young. But when the first Gulf War explodes, they are forced apart as he's drafted in the army. On the battlefield, Mastour befriends with Riad, a young teacher from Baghdad.
Deadly wounded, Mastour makes Riad promise to marry and protect Zahra when the war is over. When Riad arrives in the village, he falls deeply in love with Zahra.
