Plot
Diyar, a Kurdish-American returns to his hometown of Halabja, to build an orphanage five years after the chemical bombing. There, he meets Jiyan and Şêrko, orphan survivors of the attack. During his stay in the town, Diyar brings a short lived spark of hope and happiness to the children's lives, and as he leaves, the orphans go back to their lonely lives. Diyar leaves tearful Jiyan at the place where they met first: on a swing under a lonely tree on a small hill.
