There Was A Country

Simko, Bishkok and Taco are ten years old and the most mischievous children in the village. One day, they go to a mulberry tree down in the village. Taco starts to tell the story of a small lake a little further down the creek; he tells them that in his time that lake was the home of Djinns and Fairies who kidnapped Ihsan the Mad and held him captive there. Simko thoughtfully goes home and asks his grandmother about this story. His grandmother tells the rest of the story and Simko falls asleep... That night, he dreams of Ihsan the Mad and asks her to save him. When he wakes up in the morning, he goes straight to Bishkok and Taco's house and tells them what he saw in his dream... The three friends set out to rescue Ihsan the Mad.

Peoples' Democratic Party(HDP), which had been founded under the leadership and with initiation of the Kurdish political movement, entered the parliament with a landslide election victory. HDP won many city and district municipalities in Kurdistan and has become a great hope for communities and peoples of Turkey. After the peace process came to an end, many lawsuits were filed against HDP and its MPs within the framework of a lawsuit for closing and banning HDP. Hundreds of politicians were arrested and sent to prison, including Figen Yuksekdag, the former co-chair of HDP, Gultan Kisanak, the co-mayor of Diyarbakir Metropolitan Municipality, and Aysel Tugluk, HDP MP. Furthermore, many were forced to go abroad and started to live in exile. Aysel Tugluk got dementia while she was in prison and it was only after the protests that she was released. In this documentary, the first-degree relatives of Figen, Gultan and Aysel tell the process of going to and coming from the prison.
