Synopsis
One night, meteors start to fall in a Kurdish town. As they come out to look, people encounter fragments of the past and remember those who have been lost. The impact of the violence which has scarred the area has been erased from official records, leaving memories and stories to fill the gaps.
Sinopsis
Jedne noći, meteori počinju obasipati jedan kurdski grad. Dok izlaze da posmatraju, ljudi nailaze na fragmente prošlosti i prisjećaju se onih koji su izgubljeni. Utjecaj nasilja koje je obilježilo područje izbrisan je iz službenih zapisa, ostavljajući sjećanja i priče da popune praznine.
