Why Did He Leave the Army When He Was About to Be Promoted to Colonel?
It tells the poignant story of an immigrant family, whose son, raised abroad with countless hardships, is one day forced to send him off to war.
The story of Lieutenant Colonel Erhan Bedestani, a Turkish citizen born in America, is not just that of a soldier; it is the story of a son, a father, and a human being searching for his identity between two cultures, deeply connected to his family and roots.
On one side, the Pentagon's harsh walls; on the other, his father's prayers and the family's pride…
On one side, discipline, duty, and responsibility; on the other, longing, belonging, and love…
And perhaps the question that crosses all our minds:
“What would your life have been like if your father had left for America before you were born?”
