A story about a strange, impossible, inexplicable love between a Turkish
woman and a Bulgarian man. Ivan – a pure and romantic boy, is drawn in the so-called ‘Revival process’. He is responsible for the official seals required to issue new documents during the forced name-changing campaign. Ayten, a kindergarten teacher, tries to steal the seals, believing this will slow down the involuntary renaming. Unexpectedly, their encounter sparks a feeling of closeness. Ivan faces a life-changing choice – to ‘rename’ Ayten, or to defy the system – and accept the consequences.
