O mein Gott

At a time when everything is interrelated, the sum of the parts can add up to a catastrophic whole. Places don't matter anymore, it can happen anywhere and on November 11th it hits a luxury hotel on the coast, in the pretty holy pond. The story is like an unpredictable sum of parts that make a fatal mixture. And since everything is interrelated, none of the characters can claim that they were not to blame for the catastrophe.

The story is set in a tiny Kurdish village. Isa’s younger brother is murdered and brought back to his hometown.

These ordinary people find themselves living in a psychological minefield wrestling on the planes between logic, norms, emotions, and irrationality.
