Wild West á la Kurdistan. After the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, Baran, a Kurdish hero from the war of independence, takes over the post of police commandant in a godforsaken village in the border triangle between Turkey and Iraq. Khwakork is a Mecca for illegal trade, is snowed in six months of the year and only accessible by horse. In this remote mountain village, a school was recently opened. Beautiful Govend comes to the village as a teacher, even if her twelve brothers try to prevent it. In Khwakork, apart from Baran, nobody wants law and order, nobody wants a school and only Govend dreams of freedom and justice through education.
