German-born Umay flees her oppressive marriage in Istanbul, taking her young son Cem with her. She hopes to find a better life with her family in Berlin, but her unexpected arrival creates intense conflict.

What Umay doesn't realize is just how deep the wounds have gone and how dangerous her struggle for self-determination has become...
