‘Kimia’ to define motherland; iFilm cut

On tonight’s episode of ‘Kimia’ to be aired at 19:00 GMT, the lead character of the show will define motherland.

Azadeh, who has been taken away from her mother and motherland, has just found herself in the land where her biological mother was martyred.

This huge shock makes her wonder where a person’s motherland is.
