The patriarch and devout father Abdullah has been living in Zurich with his wife Emine and their children for years. Their eldest son Kadir and their daughter Elif are doing well in the Western world. The youngest son, Burak, is gradually becoming radicalized without really realizing it. Abdullah is initially impressed, but then Burak sets off on a "holy war." His father travels to the Turkish-Syrian border region to rescue his son.
