Synopsis:
In 1963, Salih, a shadow play puppeteer, and his daughter Ruhsar, living in a remote village in Cyprus, are forced to flee their home by the Greek police and seek refuge with their relatives in another village. When Salih goes missing while attempting to reach the city, Ruhsar is left to live with Veli. The fragile "gentleman's agreement" between the Greek and Turkish communities in the village is on the brink of collapse. Tensions escalate further when Turkish youths discover that the Greeks are stockpiling weapons, prompting them to prepare for potential conflict.
