Meer est un des derniers villages catholiques chaldéens en Turquie. Dans les années 90, la majorité de population a été expulsée de leurs maisons par les Forces Armées Turques et a dû s’exiler. La famille de Hurmuz Diril est la seule qui retourne dans la région pour reconstruire leur vie.
“I see depth and richness in this documentary which encompasses nature and what we do to it, being torn from one’s home and returning to it, resilience to rebuild life over and over, being a woman and so on. (…) I think these are times when we need empathy the most, and if I can have the slightest contribution to this it would be enough for me. This story hasn’t changed maybe in a thousand years, but we keep forgetting, so maybe if we are reminded enough times it can change at last. ” Etna Özbek
