SYNOPSIS

The film attempts to approach, in documentary style, the non-commercial, and thus unseen, side of the Kurdish people, who are only recognised and honoured by our own world when they decide to die heroically, providing fodder for the lyrical grandiloquence of vapid news broadcasts; a people whose fortune is surrounded by "dead end streets", but whose hope burns inextinguishable.
