"I spoke privately with my grandmother about my father. My grandfather prohibited us to speak about him at home. It was as if he no longer existed... One day I travelled to Armenia for a forum. I met someone who grew up in an Iraqi refugee camp. I asked them about my father. One of them replied excitedly, 'I know him. He is my father.' This film is the story of a woman looking for a father, whom she never met. On her journey from Istanbul to Maxmur, she wonders about the kind of man her father was, what his past was, and if he loved her. This adventure forces her to confront her closest relatives.
