The film tells the story of the Edes, who are known as Abdals throughout Anatolia and who live in the Emirdag region today. Edes, who make their living from musicianship and whose numbers are very few today, continue their lives in a small neighborhood despite the emigration that started in the 1960s. While life offered a new future to those who left in the 60s and 70s, it left a living problem for those who stayed. Their passion for music comes with a triangle of "A Separation, A Poverty and A Death", according to the story flow they have. Changes due to the pandemic, which has been effective around the world, especially in the last 2 years, have revealed the search for different professions and new life expectations. The documentary tells the story of the Edes who struggle to exist with Separation, Poverty and Death.
