The lost word

Acclaimed author OEmer Eren has writer's block - he has lost his 'word'.

After meeting a distressed young Kurdish couple on the run from the Turkish authorities, Kurdish resistance-movement guerrillas and the woman's own family, things begin to change, however.

Emotionally distanced from his scientist wife and his son, OEmer travels to the couple's homeland, where, as he becomes involved with an extraordinary woman and begins to comprehend the complexities of the region, he regains his sense of purpose and his creativity as hope returns.
