Fariba, a devoted housewife in her sixties, spends her days caring for her elderly parents. Her mother struggles with Alzheimer’s, and her father’s frail health demands constant attention. Despite having her own home and life, Fariba dedicates herself to their needs, sharing the burden with her brother, who takes over in the evenings.
Caught between the moral duty to care for her parents and the quiet yearning for her own freedom, Fariba’s story delves into the timeless conflict between love and self-preservation. Is her sacrifice a reflection of unconditional love and responsibility, or does it come at the expense of her own identity and dreams? Heritage asks a profound question: How do we reconcile the needs of those we love with the pursuit of a life true to ourselves?
