Here, she discovers that one of the reasons for her feelings of loneliness, lack of belonging, and resistance to starting her own family is entwined with her great-grandfather -- he was an Armenian orphaned as a child during the 1915 Armenian genocide and subsequently raised by Devrim’s family. He eventually married the family’s eldest daughter. But his Armenian identity has never been sufficiently investigated. When she shares this with her family, she finds out that her great grandfather Yusuf was buried in an unknown spot in an anonymous mass cemetery...thus begins the story of this film.
