'Days of Life' tells the story of the events that take place at a makeshift hospital near the frontlines of the 1980s war Saddam Hussein’s regime launched against Iran. Doctor Amir-Ali Alavi and his wife do everything they can to tend to the wounded soldiers that are sent back from the frontlines. As the medics tend to do their everyday duties and try to save as many lives as possible, their makeshift hospital is ravaged by a devastating attack after a formal ceasefire has been announced.
