Three siblings born in Iraqi Kurdistan but raised in Germany return to theirhomeland for their mother’s funeral. Her last wish is to be buried next to their father in their native village but their uncle refuses to grant his sister’s wish. The siblings therefore decide to steal their mother’s coffin and flee in a pickup truck through the desolate landscape. During their odyssey, they are not only confronted with their vast Kurdish family but also with one another in a drama on severed family relations and the process of rediscovering one’s own history.
