About
1997, the tensions between religious and secular Turks are increasing. Fourteen-year-old Ahmet is sent by his recently converted
father to an Islamic dormitory, a “Yurt”, to learn Muslim values. Ahmet works hard to be the perfect son but he has trouble
fitting in with rough kids at the Yurt, and feels isolated in his day secular school, where he hides his new home from his
classmates. His only solace is a new friend Hakan, a street-smart kid who knows how to work the Yurt system. Together they
dream of making their own decisions.
