Sumru (28) is doing music research at a university in Istanbul. To work on her thesis on gathering and recording an exhaustive collection of Anatolian elegies, she sets off for the southeast of the country for a few months. The brief trip turns out to be the longest journey of her life. In the course of the trip, Sumru crosses paths with Ahmet, a young guy who sells bootleg DVDs on the streets of Diyarbakır, with Antranik, the aging and solitary warden of a crumbling church in the city, and with various characters who witness the ongoing “unnamed war.”
