A mountain village perched on the border between two worlds has been the home, for generations, of the Altun family. But with the introduction of forced migration policies, the family finds itself wrenched from the village, and forced to relocate from the east to the west of Turkey. Haydar and Isa Altun arrive with their respective families in Istanbul, where they decide to stay, but Davut Altun, his wife and children set their sights further afield and travel on to Norway. Over a period of 25 years, the film recounts the experiences of the three families as they struggle to find their feet in alien surroundings.
