The Kurdish Iraqi poet and actor Zeravan Khalil travels with his dog through an Alpine gorge after fleeing from IS war and genocide. As he remembers the abomination, he writes a poem with the title 'You drive me mad' in Kurmanji Kurdish. In his home country, Yazidic Kurds are forbidden to be actors.
