Synopsis
In Turkey, where any criticism of the state is met with severe consequences, young Turkish individuals like Fikret and Deniz engage in hunger strikes to maintain their political integrity. These young activists, coming from impoverished backgrounds, believe that communism will improve their country. Their actions are a response to Turkey's long history of suppressing dissent, which has led them to adopt such drastic measures. This extreme form of protest is part of a broader movement known as 'Operation Return to Life', highlighting the lengths to which individuals will go to fight for their beliefs in a repressive environment.
