In Brooklyn, retired doctor Sami drifts into dementia, reliving his life in Iraq. Omar, a scarred deserter seeking a new start, hides his past. When their paths cross, buried memories resurface in this poignant story of exile, war, and the struggle to remember and belong.

Sami, a retired doctor, lives with his son and grandchildren in Brooklyn. But Sami keeps losing his way. Every day he sinks deeper into dementia and old memories of life in Iraq before the war.

Omar arrives in the US with a fake identity and no friends or family. Having run away from the Iraqi army, he has been branded a deserter and his ear brutally cut off. Omar carries this mark of shame with him and refuses to talk about the past. He dreams of getting his ear, and his dignity, back.

When their paths cross at least one of them knows that they have met before – if only he could remember where. Exploring the aftermath of war and how the past haunts new beginnings, Notes from a Lost Country creates a moving portrait of life in exile.
