Synopsis

                  While making plans to go to Afghanistan, Cihan and Osman change their plans due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. During the first days of war, they attempt to head into Ukraine by reversing the route followed by the people fleeing the war. They use action cameras to record and remember what they witness during this journey; it is, however, upon their return that they realize just how valuable these images are. Even though they witness what takes place in the background of the war and hear the stories of different people they meet, they still think that it is impossible for them to truly understand the traumas lodged in people’s memories until an airstrike is carried out to their location while they are trying to reach besieged Kyiv.
