Cıvan, a young father, is seriously ill and would like to teach his son, Feyzi, how to cope with life and provide for himself before he passes away, but without telling him that he is dying. As young Feyzi tries to make sense of the situation, political conflicts, bans, disappearances, and the deaths of close relatives and neighbors make life a living hell. A father-son-story from the war-torn Kurdish region of Turkey.
