Zahra, a Shia, and her husband, Ammar, a Sunni from Baghdad, were at home with their two children when a group of men knocked on their door in March 2005.

Ammar was forced at gunpoint into a car which disappeared at high speed.

Kidnapping is rife in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein. Official figures show that about 40 people were kidnapped every day during 2007.

Filmmaker Rashed Radwan follows Zahra as day after day, she visits police stations, hospitals and morgues in a desperate search for her husband, and in the face of disapproval from a society where widows are still expected to be invisible.
