The film documents the music and singing culture of the Kurdish population in an extraordinary way. It was shown at Documenta 2022 with great success. Narrators and singers are contemporary witnesses. Despite violence, expulsion and destruction, the songs have survived over the millennia. Now they are in danger of disappearing.
