Eastern Anatolia had become a place of uncertainty and chaos by January 1915, and neither the Russians nor the Ottomans held control.

Due to absence of authority, the people were left to their own fate in a battle of survival.

Passing through a deserted village in the mountains of East Anatolia, 7 people from different walks of life try to endure the terrible winter conditions as well as starvation while attempting to make their way back to home.

The score of the film was composed by Hungarian musician Mihály Víg - known for his collaborations with director Béla Tarr on films including The Turin House and Werckmeister Harmonies.
