In a remote Turkish mountain village, the return of an exiled family brings back a long-running dispute over land. Old anger and rivalries begin to surface. Mesut, the brother of the village leader, starts having strange visions that he believes are messages from God. He begins to question his brother’s authority, creating tension within the community. As religious beliefs and the struggle for power divide the villagers, the conflict threatens to end in either tragedy or salvation.
