Zer tells the story of Jan who is pursuing the song sung to him by his grandmother Zarife–a woman who had gone through the agonies in Dersim in 1938. Zarife had concealed neither her identity, her past, nor herself in this song. When she is brought to New York for her cancer treatment, Jan and his grandmother get closer together which instigates a transformation in Jan’s life. Jan decides to trace the song that his grandmother had sung to him and sets out to Dersim from New York, but will he ever reach himself there?
