When Banu files for divorce from her abusive husband, he retaliates by claiming full custody or their young son and accusing her of being an unfit mother. While her husband has influence, Banu struggles to find witnesses willing to testify that he was abusive. Set in the final days of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020, the film draws parallels between that tragic conflict and the battle for custody, while also contrasting waves of public patriotism for the fallen “martyrs” with the grief of widows and mothers who have lost their husbands and sons.
