"Memories on Stone" tells the story of childhood friends Hussein and Alan who decide to decide to produce a film about the 'Al Anfal' Kurdish genocide following Saddam Hussein’s loss of power in Iraq. But as events conspire against the cast and crew, Hussein and Alan end up sacrifice everything, including their lives, to keep the film going.
The difficulties start when their leading actress pulls out of the production. Desperate to find a replacement, a beautiful young woman named Sinur (played by the excellent Shima Molaei) comes to the rescue but complications arise when her uncle Hamid (Salah Sheikh Ahmadi) forbids her to take part in the film because she is unmarried. Sinur agrees to marry Hamid’s son Hiwa in order to star in the film but as financial, time and personal pressures begin to mount, it seems like the film is destined not to make it to the big screen...
