While doctors believe that her son’s leukemia is terminal, Bahar (Parinaz Izadyar) holds out hope for a rare procedure that would require a fresh umbilical cord from the child’s birth parents. A tense atmosphere descends upon Bahar and her husband Hossein (Babak Hamidian) as they wrestle with the unspoken truth: he is not the boy’s father. As she sets out to find her first husband, missing from the mental hospital she committed him to years ago, she unwittingly uncovers buried secrets that send both families into disarray. Navigating conservative establishment beliefs, a tumultuous marriage, and the endless red tape of the legal system, Bahar must risk her family and social reputation for the sake of her son’s life.
Director Hamid Reza Ghorbani reveals the human lives at the mercy of convoluted medical, social, and religious bureaucratic laws and customs in Iran. Led by powerful, urgent performances, Bone Marrow is a captivating portrait of humanism and sacrifice for the sake of family.
