Trileçe
Fuat, a young man, loses his family in a fire that breaks out in their home in Istanbul when he is only 10 years old. Left orphaned at a very young age, Fuat survives with the help of his neighbors. Ali, a man of Arab descent, and Mehmet, a man of Kurdish descent, take Fuat in as their own brother and care for him. The only thing left of Fuat's family is a trunk. Fuat learns from a letter found inside the trunk, which was saved from the fire, that he has relatives living in Skopje. The young boy, who wants to find his relatives, asks Ali, whom he regards as his older brother, for help. Ali, who finds it dangerous to go to Skopje in the midst of the war, devises a different plan to avoid upsetting Fuat and reunite him with his relatives. However, things do not go smoothly for Ali and Fuat as they embark on a dangerous journey toward Skopje.
