Plots(1)

Kurdish rebels lead a partisan war in the mountains of Turkey. Men and women fighting for their national identity mindlessly follow their leaders’ orders. Young Iranian Kurds live on the streets of Paris, while their Turkish counterparts can take advantage of the benefits of European civilization. The image of a nation grows out of cultural traditions observed during war and in the safety of the Kurdish headquarters in Paris. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

English This montage of amateur, home-made, horrible-quality videos showing soldiers walking off to somewhere and shooting something, or, after changing back into their civilian attire and returning to the city, looking homeless while eating breakfast in a telephone booth. All without any accompanying commentary or music, and with only an occasional subtitle explaining who they are, where they are and why they are doing what they are doing. Extremely enriching. ()
