1:04:01
In a dream world, the three
of us would be here together.

1:04:04
Dad, you and me.
1:04:08
I remember all the stories
I used to hear about this place.

1:04:12
The glorious capital
of our kingdom.

1:04:15
Ancient history.
1:04:17
Like the story that Dad
was a freedom fighter-

1:04:20
fighting for the return
of this, I guess.

1:04:24
And then he died.
1:04:27
And now something in me
died too.

1:04:33
What am I supposed to feel
when I look at these ruins?

1:04:36
And do I believe
that they're ravaged by time,

1:04:38
or do I believe
1:04:40
that they've been
wilfully destroyed?

1:04:43
Is this proof of what happened?
Am I supposed to feel anger?

1:04:50
Can I ever feel the anger
that Dad must've felt when-'

1:04:52
- When he tried to kill
1:04:54
a Turkish diplomat?
1:04:57
- How did you know?
- You gave me your passport.

1:05:00
Files are kept.
1:05:03
You have to be
the son of a... terrorist.

1:05:09
Will you turn that back on,
please?

1:05:19
- 'He tried to kill that man.
1:05:22
Why was he prepared
to give us up for that?

1:05:25
Mom, what's the legacy
he's supposed

1:05:28
to have given me?
1:05:30
Why can't I take any comfort
in his death?

1:05:36
When I see these places,
I realize how much we've lost.

1:05:40
Not just the land
and the lives,

1:05:45
but the loss of any way
to remember it.

1:05:47
There is nothing here
to prove

1:05:49
that anything
ever happened.
