A farming couple lives with their children in a village, far from the city, in northeastern Turkey. Every spring, they sow 1500 years-old wheat seeds, that their family inherited from their ancestors, and when time is, they grind the grain in their mill and make the flour into bread. Although the harvest of this family-seed is difficult and its yield is low, they believe that this heritage is a source of life.
