In this film, which takes a critical look at the period when Saddam Hussein, the former leader of Iraq who was brutally executed in recent years, was in power, director Gani Rüzgar Şavata's message is: "If soldiers are not robots, if they have become pawns for the supporters of imperialism, Zionism, and fascism, if they do not even recognize the thin line between life and death for people searching for their own identity, then these are Saddam's Soldiers." It is the era of Saddam Hussein in northern Iraq. Many raids are carried out on Peshmerga villages, and torture and suffering are rampant. Despite everything, an unstoppable love quietly blossoms, grows, and strives to survive.
