Rojava, Syria: It is scorching hot and once again, there’s no water. The school girl Yarê (Rolav Ferec Hac Mihemed) realizes that things can’t go on like this and embarks on a journey into the unknown. Sallar Othman’s film is a cry for help—and at the same time a piece of cinema made with impressive stylistic clarity that gives us a better understanding of everyday life in a region forgotten by the global public.
