Şırnak is a Kurdish city on the border of Turkey, Iraq and Syria. In 2007, drama teacher Tayfur began recording candid interviews with children aged between 8 and 14.

People's mental health is deteriorating and self-confidence is lost. Bigger ambitions have faded. In 2016, war erupted on the streets of Şırnak.
