Brother's Keeper

Yusuf and Memo are close friends attending a boarding school for Kurdish boys located in the remote mountains of Eastern Anatolia.

By the time the authorities acknowledge the severity of the situation and attempt to move Memo to a hospital, a sudden, heavy snowfall traps everyone inside the building.
