Portrait of the Kurdish sniper Haron, who came to the Syrian town of Kobani on the Turkish border to fight IS. Many inhabitants fled the violence, but the town barbershop is still open. The taciturn Haron is a welcome patron there, because he protects the people who have stayed. After the haircut, he takes his position among the city ruins and gets busy again. He shows us how he works as a sniper and tells about his dreams and nightmares.
