本片是《天堂的孩子》导演马吉德·马吉迪的处女作。原名《巴都客》，指的是伊朗东南部邻近巴基斯坦边界的一批走私客。这批可怜人有老有少，每天顶着烈日风沙和被军警追捕的危险，像野狗般在荒凉的沙漠上流窜。十岁出头的男孩佳发，正是其中的一位可怜人。佳发因为父亲挖井暴毙，跟妹妹佳玛在流浪途中被人口贩子诱骗。佳发被卖给走私贩阿布多拉，佳玛则卖给阿拉伯人。在佳发的小小心灵中，一直念念不忘的心愿是将佳玛找到兄妹团圆。为了达到心愿，佳发过了一段典型的苦儿流浪记生活。
Mari (Marina Vlady) runs a boardinghouse for girls who are in trouble, and Juli (Lili Monori) is a young married woman who is fleeing her passionate marriage with an uncontrollable alcoholic.

Both women are desperately unfulfilled - Mari has a narrow-minded and passionless man for a husband, and Juli still loves her husband, whom she recognizes as a person she cannot continue living with. The two turn to each other for comfort, and each woman gains necessary insights into her own life in seeing the other's struggles.
