- Synopsis
- The Yazidis recently experienced massacres perpetrated by Daesh in northern Iraq. Fleeing to the borders of Kurdistan, Turkey, the Caucasus and the gates of Europe, they now constitute a fragmented community, whose members, threatened and often hunted down, no longer know exactly where their loved ones are. Faced with the difficulty for these routed Yazidis to communicate with each other by modern means of communication, Yazidi nomads in the Caucasus use homing pigeons to transmit messages from one place of exile to another. Through the use of messenger pigeons, these nomads are thus able to send news to scattered families, to indicate passage routes to sanctuaries, to relieve men of their pains. Guided by homing pigeons and their micro-messages, this film is a poetic and nomadic outfit in a world at war, alongside a people in survival.
