Inspired by a true story of a Syrian military officer who secretly documented the regime’s violence, the film follows Ahmet, a man who loses his ability to speak after an attack. He begins working in a unit tasked with photographing and recording those who have died in the conflict. Determined to expose the truth and give a voice to the silenced stories of war, Ahmet faces a difficult choice: protect his own safety and that of his wife, or fulfill his responsibility to humanity by revealing what he witnesses.
