While crossing the mountains of the Turkish inlands with her companions, she decides to escape, in search of a family and a world that lives in peace. She is guided only by her courage and the moonlight. The girl succeeds in crossing the enemy lines and here begins her difficulty odyssey in a hostile environment. Between bombings and aggressions, capture and detention, and then refuge in the caves, Jîn looks for protection from the mountains, conserving the instinct for charity and compassion when helping a wounded enemy soldier.
