Overview
In 1988, writer Kader Abdolah fled Iran and arrived in the Netherlands at 33, without knowing a word of Dutch. Twenty-five years later, his novel The House of the Mosque was voted the second-best book ever written in Dutch. The son of a mute carpet repairman, Kader had been his father’s ears and voice since childhood. This documentary explores his journey, his perpetual search for words, and the delicate balance between embracing his new life and preserving his culture.
