a| The filmmaker creates a connection between his personal story of immigration and the current state of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. In the film he makes a personal journey which takes him from Hamburg through Stockholm to Turkey, ending in the north of Iraq, in the Maxmur refugee camp in Iraqi Kurdistan. Along the way he meets among others his parents and old friends, some of whom went to the mountains to become guerrilla fighters, while others fled the country and went into exile. One of the main protagonists is the intellectual Dr. Ismail Besikci who, because of his academic research into Kurdish culture, had to spend 17 years in prison. Others are Abdulkadir Aygan who fought as a counter guerrilla in the "dirty war" against the Kurdish resistance and Berivan, a woman who became a guerilla fighter and left her family to live and fight in the mountains. In the end, the film makes a walks the tight-rope between political facts and personal stories and addresses many issues, the main one being Turkey’s inability to solve the Kurdish question.
