Nazê was born in Iraq. She lived in Iraq, Iran and Turkey. When we say "she lived" we mean about a life time of 105 years, still counting as of November 2004. Her grandson İrfan Aktan talked with her for some hours everyday then he translated for us what she had told him. Because Nâzê couldn't speak Turkish. The work was a bit like groping for something in the dark, where you trust your instinct rather than your senses.

On a rural estate live three brothers, a sister, and their blind, religious mother. Three of the siblings have epilepsy, the fourth and eldest, Augusto does not, and he's about to break away from the family: he's in love with Lucia and planning to move to the city. Augusto's sister Guilia tries to frustrate the lovers, while another brother, Alessandro, hatches a far-reaching plot to free himself of his mother's demands and other family responsibilities, to give Augusto the wherewithal to leave with Lucia, and, perhaps, to pursue incestuous impulses with his sister.
