Baran, a Kurdish independence war hero, is now sheriff in Erbil, the capital city. No longer feeling useful in this society now at peace, he thinks about quitting the police force, but instead agrees to be stationed in a small valley, at the very borders of Iran, Turkey, and Iraq. It is a lawless territory, right at the heart of illegal drug, medication and alcohol trafficking. Having arrived in the small village, he refuses to bow down to Aga Azzi, the seriously corrupt tribal chief and absolute ruler of the area. Baran meets Govend, the village school teacher, who is also rejected by the villagers. Like Baran, she represents another law, that of the young and autonomous Kurdish state. Govend is all the more vulnerable as she is not a married woman.

Baran, een vroegere oorlogsheld, aanvaardt de job van politieman ergens ver weg in de bergen, in een grensdorpje met Turkije. Hij krijgt het er onmiddellijk aan de stok met de lokale “sterke man” Aziz Aga. Die bepaalt de wetten in de regio en verdient aardig wat geld met het smokkelen van medicijnen en alcohol van en naar Turkije. Aziz Aga heeft het niet begrepen op overheidsbemoeienis en wil dat alles bij het oude blijft, beknotting van vrouwenrechten incluis. Zo maakt hij de nieuw aangestelde onderwijzeres Govend het leven heel erg moeilijk...

James Wan is one of the most bankable directors in Hollywood, with many of his films becoming franchises, like "Saw," "The Conjuring" and "Insidious." Now that he's directing "Fast and Furious 7," he's looking toward the future.
Deadline is reporting that Wan just signed a big deal with New Line Cinema, a division of Warner Bros. Despite saying that he's done with the horror genre, he will return to direct "The Conjuring 2," which begins filming next summer. That explains why the sequel was recently moved from its October 23rd, 2015 release to 2016.
"It was during the editing of 'Fast and Furious 7' that my brain started sparking ideas for 'The Conjuring' sequel," said Wan. "Taking a break from horror has allowed me to be creatively rejuvenated. I'm excited to tell the story of the next case-file of Ed and Lorraine Warren and expand on this world we've created."
The other part of his deal is to develop and produce modest budget films for New Line in the sci-fi, horror and comedy genres through his Atomic Monster company. This part is not surprising since, Wan is known for turning films budgeted at around $1 million to massive global hits. That includes the recently released "Annabelle," which already earned $166 million on a budget of $6 million.
New Line president Toby Emmerich went on to hint that Wan may get a chance to take on one of Warner Bros' superhero films. "New Line has always been a big believer in great filmmakers emerging from the horror genre, and he has the potential to grow like Frank Darabont did, from writing 'A Nightmare On Elm Street 3' to writing and directing 'The Shawshank Redemption,'" he said. "James will make an important movie for New Line and Warner Bros or DC, and that is definitely part of the plan, and a reason for bringing him into the family. He's the only overall director with a deal here, because we see him as a class of one."
