Synopsis
Whilst carrying a heavy load of wood, a lonely old mother who's waiting for her son's return faints and gets woken up by a traveller that resembles her own son. She invites him to her tent and goes to fetch him some food only to find her kindness repaid with theft. Koshk is a story of how far a mother would go to comfort her own seclusion.
