During the years when World War I began to turn the Ottoman Empire's territories into a war zone, the pain of a great love story that unfolded in southeastern Anatolia and present-day Syria burned as fiercely as the war itself in the hearts of those involved. Mahmut leaves his home, abandoning everything—including the person he loves—because he refuses to commit murder. After being caught up in the relentless war raging across Anatolian lands and fighting for years in the struggle for liberation, he sets out to return home. His sole desire is to reunite with the one he was forced to leave behind and to seek revenge for the injustice he suffered years ago.

When a popular doctor takes his own life, leaving behind a video will and a series of films of his life, everyone who knew him is forced to reassess their own life, creating a mirror of contemporary Syrian society.
