Hayat describes the suffering of an oppressed woman who has lost her mind and she is a victim of society and human insensitivity.

An elderly man from a distant village in Iraqi Kurdistan is mightily vexed by his daughter’s dreams of becoming an artist, in contrast with his desire for her to graduate from the faculty of Islamic Studies.

For Nariman the pilot and Helly Luv, an aspiring singer, being Kurdish is not just an identity; it’s a full-time job. Nariman needs young recruits for his flying school—a goal made darkly comic since he just survived a plane crash—while the illustrious Helly collects Kalashnikov rifles and a sea of Kurdish flags to produce her music video. In the midst of another war against the Kurdish people, Nariman reminisces about a long-lost love, and Helly finds herself connecting with Kurdish children at a refugee camp near the Syrian border, who are in urgent need of inspiration and hope.

Five strangers are brought together in a remote part of the Middle East by a doctor who claims she can solve their shared dreams of a ferocious demon.
