The Kurdish siblings Sores and Sîrîn lose their parents in the Iraq war. Though they survive the horrors of war, they sustain severe injuries. Through an aid organisation they are able to begin a new life in Germany. But despite painful memories, Sores longs to return to his home country with his little sister Sîrîn. When their grandfather suddenly appears to take his grandchildren back to Iraq, Sîrîn wants to stay.
