One day, a boy in Brooklyn receives a package from Iran. When he uncorks the mysterious bottle that lies within, a great wind transports him over oceans and mountains, straight into the arms of his grandfather. Despite the boundaries of politics and geography, the boy and his Baba Bazorg share an extraordinary gift -- the bond of their love.
