The story is set in a tiny Kurdish village. Isa’s younger brother is murdered and brought back to his hometown. Two weeks after the funeral, his mother Zîn dreams of giving a wedding celebration for her deceased son. This strange idea sparks a host of contradictory feelings in herself and with Isa and other family members, who are still reeling from the trauma and grief of losing a brother. The family gradually proceeds into a grey area in their relationship. These ordinary people find themselves living in a psychological minefield wrestling on the planes between logic, norms, emotions and irrationality.
Çîroka fîlmê li gundekî piçûk yê kurdan derbas dibe. Birayê biçûk yê Isa tê kuştin û cinazeyê wî tê anîn gund. 2 hefte piştî cinazeyê, dayîka pîr Zîn, ji bo kurê xwe yê ciwan ê rehmetî, dixwaze daweteke qerebalix çêbike. Ev daxwaz û fikra ecêb ya deraqilane, hem Îsa hem jî hemî endamên din yên malbatê ber bi cîhaneke nediyar ve radikêşîne. Ev însanên ji rêzê di vê cîhana nû de li pey hestên êşbexş dikevin û terka hizrên aqilane dikin.
