For Nariman the pilot and Helly Luv, an aspiring singer, being Kurdish is not just an identity; itโs a full-time job. Nariman needs young recruits for his flying schoolโa goal made darkly comic since he just survived a plane crashโwhile the illustrious Helly collects Kalashnikov rifles and a sea of Kurdish flags to produce her music video. In the midst of another war against the Kurdish people, Nariman reminisces about a long-lost love, and Helly finds herself connecting with Kurdish children at a refugee camp near the Syrian border, who are in urgent need of inspiration and hope.
