It is September 1980. Mustafa and his wife, who are both laborers, are married for 5 years. The couple has nothing to do with politics and spend their days happily with their 3-year-old daughter, despite the clamor of guns clashing outside every night. One morning, they wake up and hear on the radio that a military coup has taken place. Tanks are rolling and soldiers are marching through the streets. Arrests begin instantly in workplaces and neighborhoods. Yet Mustafa, far from being disturbed, assumes that all apprehensions must have rightful reasons. Until one night, he himself taken into custody, charged with the crimes of a militant code named “Sehmuz”.
