The Syrian Orthodox nun Dayrayto has been living on the site of a church in Zaz, an abandoned village in southeastern Turkey, for 18 years. Her presence in the region is a thorn in the side of many local actors. The camera accompanies Dayrayto through her everyday life and observes her struggle for survival, her fear and loneliness, but also shows the courage of a woman who is determined to protect this sacred place, no matter what.
