A cinematic recording of the uprooting and wandering of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, using the pomegranate as its central axis; people who have counted thousands of deaths over the past four decades, and their movement in gray and rainy landscapes where no one knows what is their own, where their borders are and what their homeland is.
The family of Giannis Anastasiadis, leaves the village of Aydoğdu in Pontus and takes the road of refuge, at the end of 1919, while his father has already perished in the forced labor camps. The family scatters like the dust of Anatolia. His sisters, Kerekia and Victoria, die of typhus. John and Isaac, are separated in 1919 and do not see each other for more than 60 years. John comes to Greece, but he never stops looking for his brother and writing letters to him. After many attempts, a Turkish Wali delivers the letter of John to Isaac and then the road opens, so that the two brothers can meet again.
