Summary In a decaying village in southeastern Turkey, the Syrian Orthodox nun Dayrayto protects the local church. She is afraid of the hostility of the Kurdish Muslim neighborhood, which she wants to drive out of here. The camera accompanies the old nun through an arduous everyday life: she looks after her animals and defies nighttime threats. In the 1990s, the originally Assyrian village population was tortured and expelled, says Dayrayto. Only then did she and the monk Abuna come to the town to protect the church from decay. Abuna died four years ago. Dayrayto stayed, ignoring the threats and spending her days maintaining the church. She cannot be driven away. Smoking, she watches the vast landscape from the church on a hill. Believers who want to visit church rarely come. She is currently worried about her old dog. Did the local residents poison him?
