Melis Kara

On the border of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the Greek village of Limya lies the frontier hamlet of Akıncılar, where the call to prayer mingles with church bells and Turkish music blends with Greek melodies, and people from Diyarbakır and Cyprus live side by side. In this village there are three children, each thirteen years old, bound together by fate and traveling a shared path. Their story unfolds amid a ritual that becomes ever more tangled: the drama of “child brides.”

In one parallel coming-of-age story, Kaan is faced with being uprooted from home; in the other, Berke is faced with bullying. Both demonstrate that when you know and choose what you want - Make a Wish - you can change your life.

But her nephew, Burhan, envies her fortune and decides to kidnap her in the hope of taking control of the family business. With Max's help, Danny sets out to find the dog's owner and try to foil the terrible Burhan's plans.
