Nos encontramos en las aldeas Kurdas del Cáucaso, en la devastada armenia post-soviética. Hamo es un viudo de 60 y tantos años, un oficial retirado de la armada roja. Sus únicos bienes son un viejo armario, un televisor ruso, su uniforme militar y una pensión de 7 dólares mensuales. Todos los días Hamo va hasta el cementerio y quita la nieve del retrato de la tumba de su esposa. Un poco más lejos, Nina, una atractiva viuda de 50 años, quita la nieve de la tumba de su marido. En el autobús que los trae de vuelta a sus aldeas viajan separados por tres filas de asientos. Hamo mira a Nina. Ella le devuelve la mirada. El paisaje fuera es totalmente blanco excepto por las piedras de las montañas. Cuando Hamo regresa a su pueblo encuentra una carta de su hijo que vive en París. El pueblo se altera.

Passeurs de Reves opens with longtime sweethearts Dolovan and Zara fleeing from their Mesopotamian village, which has been ravaged by ethnic warfare. As they make their way across the frigid Caucasian Mountains, Zara's parents, who are traveling with the couple, succumb to the elements. Dolovan and Zara eventually make it to a run-down evacuee camp presided over by a friendly Kurdish "tsar," where Zara discovers that her deceased father's suitcase is filled with cash. Although this is ostensibly good news, the cash makes the couple vulnerable to smugglers, dodgy guides, and counterfeiters, all of whom are eager to take advantage of Dolovan and Zara's newfound wealth. To further complicate matters, although they have money, the couple lack necessary visas to continue their journey, and soon Dolovan is taken away by the police. Abandoned in the Ukraine, Zara is robbed and then disappears, while Dolovan, traveling solo, eventually makes it to Paris to reunite with his love.

Kurdish expert Hiner Saleem (Shero) wrote and directed this French comedy-drama, set inside the 100,000-population Kurdish community in Paris. The original French title translates as "Long Live the Bride...and the Liberation of Kurdistan." Cheto (Georges Corraface) seeks a wife via videotapes while still seeing his French girlfriend, immigration office worker Christine (Stephanie Lagarde). Cheto places an order for a beautiful girl, but he's disappointed when her sister, country girl Mina (Marina Kobakhidze), arrives at the airport as a substitute. Family pressure forces him to marry her. Unhappy with the way she's treated by Cheto, Mina acquires some progressive notions from Leila (Schahla Aalam) and other local feminists, leading to confrontations with Cheto.
