1980. Xelilo, a disturbed man, lives in an abandoned
store and walks endlessly through the streets of
Nusaybin, a Kurdish village in the south east of Turkey.
He is curiously being noticed by Cengo, a 12-year old
boy, living more or less happily under poor conditions
with his friends and family, selling chewing gum for a
living.
Cautiously they become friends. Cengo leads him to the
meeting point of the children under the German bridge,
where they live through carefree moments.
When the Turkish military takes power, a curfew is
imposed on the city. The life of Xelilo and the other
Kurds is endangered. Who are the winners and losers in
this conflict?
