'I was raised by a Kurdish activist', filmmaker Nevine recounts. For the last 40 years her mother, Pervine Jamil, has been running her Kurdish Bureau in Brussels. Her main activity - still today at the age of 80 - is publishing her monthly newsletter, in which she communicates about the Kurdish struggle around the world. Nevine's childhood was dominated by her mother's dream of a free Kurdistan. Pervine inherited this dream from her father, Ekrem Cemil Pasha, one of the founders of the modern Kurdish movement. His grandfather was a pasha in Diyarbakir but after the fall of the Ottoman Empire their family was betrayed and exiled by Atatürk. Nevine's mother Pervine was raised in exile where she sacrificed her life for the Kurdish cause. Will she be the last in line of this dynasty to fight for their long-lasting family legacy? Will the burden of this legacy, passed on from generation to generation, fade with the filmmaker? Nevine's dilemma is emphasized when she gives birth, and a new generation is born.
