About the characters:

Antoine Habert: A young and successful engineer and entrepreneur. On the outside, Antoine has the perfect life: he's in a loving relationship, has supporting parents and his career is skyrocketing. But deep inside, Antoine is fractured. He is consumed by guilt and regret over the death of his sister, Anna, which he blames himself for. When he sees the face of a woman who looks like his sister on TV, it sparks incredible theories in his mind and shatters the normality he tried to maintain in his life. He goes on a journey to Syria, desperately looking for answers. There, he allows himself -- for the first time in his life -- to become part of something bigger. He won't admit it right away, but he falls in love with this world and its culture, and he becomes emotionally attached with people he meets along the way and who become his brothers in arms.

Anna Habert: Antoine's sister. An archeology student and a humanist, extremely charismatic and intelligent, but at the same time passionate and spontaneous. After a dramatic fight with Antoine and her parents, Anna breaks ties with her family. She becomes politically involved and is murdered in a mysterious terrorist attack in Cairo.

Sarya Dogan: A fierce YPJ officer. Sarya, the daughter of Kurdish immigrants, was raised in Paris. At the age of 16, Sarya's mother passed away, and her father decided to return to Kurdistan. All at once, the girl was taken away from her familiar environment and cast into a traditional, tribal society. As a Kurdish woman, her way of expressing herself, achieving independence and self-realization, was to join the YPJ. As a Kurdish soldier, she was once again considered equal to her male counterparts.
