Argentina and Turkey are geographically apart by thousands of kilometers. However, despite the distance, both countries' recent past brings them immediately together. That nearness takes Nora Cortiñas -a member of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Founding Line- into a journey to the Kurdish region of Turkey. There, she meets the Mothers of Peace, who lost their children to violence and state terrorism by the Turkish government, and in order to carry on their fight, have taken the Argentine mothers as a model to become the Saturday Mothers.
