In 1991, Kurdwin Ayub and her parents had to flee Iraq. Years later, her father (Omar) is longing for home and has decided to visit relatives in his hometown of Dohuk again, but this time to buy a property there. With a camera in hand, Kurdwin accompanies her father on visits to relatives, real estate agents and even soldiers in a war zone within reach of IS. The places and people they meet repeatedly challenge Omar's glorified image of Kurdistan, a place he calls "paradise".
