Yusuf and his best friend, Memo, are at a boarding school for Kurdish boys in the secluded mountains of Eastern Anatolia. When Memo falls seriously ill, Yusuf is forced to struggle through the bureaucratic obstacles put up by the school’s repressive authorities to help his friend. By the time the adults in charge finally understood the seriousness of Memo’s condition, the school had been buried under a sudden, heavy snowfall. With all exits blocked and now desperate to reach help, tensions rise between teachers and pupils who end up in a blame game where grudges, feelings of guilt and secrets emerge, all the while Memo and his condition worsens.
