It is winter in Istanbul. A plane from Teheran has just landed. A couple have succeeded in fleeing Iran with their four-year-old son, Mani. In Iran, they committed a crime. Leila and Sahand had a secret love affair, and in Iran, they were not allowed to get divorced. Neither could they tell their son that he was an illegitimate child since adultery can be punished with the death penalty in Iran. So, up till the escape, Mani had only known his biological father as "uncle".
Kærlighedsbarnet
Instruktør: Eva Mulvad
Leila og Sahand flygter fra Iran til Tyrkiet med deres 4-årige søn. I Iran har de overtrådt alle regler, for de har haft en hemmelig affære og fået et barn, mens de begge var gift. De har ikke kunnet fortælle sandheden til deres søn, fordi utroskab straffes med døden i Iran. Nu søger den lille familie et fælles håb for fremtiden i Vesten, men samtidig med deres ankomst til Tyrkiet bryder FN's flygtningesystem sammen.
