Synopse
An island off the coast of Istanbul is evacuated because of an impending earthquake. Most of the islanders flee to the mainland. But a few refuse to go. For them, life in the reigning apocalyptic climate gets harder by the day. The horses are affected by a mysterious illness, making them so weak they can no longer move. Then it appears to spread to the humans. A group of desperate women throw all their energy and hope, courage and faith into the fight against their fate. The film follows their inspirational journey through various dimensions of existence.
