    Mist is uncertainty.
    A mist which cannot be held with the hand, or even seen with the eye.
    A mist which can comprehend our happiness, our pain, our fears, our contrainment and which encompasses human relationships.
    A mist hanging over a family, a society and an era.
    As stated by Victor Hugo “similar to the volcano’s discharge of stones, the discharge of people” in an era of uncertainty.
    A mist which has taken the lives of 5 000 people within four years.
    The effort of this film is to remember and understand something which is lost and gone in our country’s existence and in our own lives.
