In 1991 Kurdwin Ayub and her parents were forced to flee from Iraq. Years later her father (Omar) is homesick and has decided to visit relatives in his hometown of Dohuk again, but this time in order to purchase property there. With a camera in hand, Kurdwin accompanies her father on visits with relatives, real estate agents, and even soldiers in a war zone within reach of the IS. The places and people they encounter repeatedly call into question Omar’s glorified picture of Kurdistan, a place he calls “Paradise”.

1991 mussten Kurdwin Ayub und ihre Eltern aus dem Irak fliehen. Jahre später ist ihr Vater (Omar) heimatsehnsüchtig und hat beschlossen, Verwandte in seiner Heimatstadt Dohuk wieder zu besuchen, diesmal jedoch, um dort eine Immobilie zu kaufen. Mit einer Kamera in der Hand begleitet Kurdwin ihren Vater bei Besuchen bei Verwandten, Immobilienmaklern und sogar Soldaten in einem Kriegsgebiet in Reichweite des IS. Die Orte und Menschen, die sie treffen, stellen immer wieder Omars verklärtes Bild von Kurdistan, einem Ort, den er „Paradies“ nennt, in Frage.

Di sala 1991 de Kurdwîn Eyûb û dê û bavê wê neçar man ku ji Iraqê birevin. Piştî salan bavê wê (Omer) bêzar dibe û biryar dide ku careke din serdana xizmên xwe li bajarê Dihokê bike, lê vê carê ji bo kirîna mal û milk li wê derê. Bi kamerayek di dest de, Kurdwîn bi bavê xwe re di serdanên bi xizm, firoşyarên sîteyan û heta leşkeran re li navçeyeke şer a li ber destê DAÎŞ. Cih û mirovên ku ew rastî wan tên, gelek caran wêneyê Kurdistanê yê bi rûmet ên ku Omer, ew cihê bi "Bihuşt" bi nav dike, dixe bin lêpirsînê.
