Everywhere they go Armenian buildings have been destroyed and the remaining Armenians were forced to convert to Islam. The grim realm drives Sinan and Ara apart. Sinan feels the desire for material evidence that there was indeed a genocide committed. For Ara, this desire only distracts him from reconciling with his Armenian background. For this reason they both go their own way. Ara travels alongside the Syrian border to the only Armenian village in Turkey. He visits Mount Ararat and goes to Ani, the ruins of the former capital of the Armenian Empire.Sinan travels back to Istanbul and goes to Ankara. Over there he gathers evidence and confronts people. And if he finally finds what he's looking for he travels to Kars, in the far east of Turkey to meet Ara again and prepare for the last part of their journey: Armenia.
