Synopsis
Cizre, a Kurdish city in Turkey, elected its youngest mayor, a 26-year-old Kurdish-German woman, with an 81% majority. After fleeing to Germany at the age of five following her father's death at the hands of the Turkish military, she returns two decades later with a mission to rebuild her war-torn community. As national elections approach, the fragile peace in Cizre is threatened, forcing her to confront the painful legacy of violence and division that has shaped her city.
