The movie revolves around the life of small Baris who is living in the prison with his mother. His mother took the blame when his father was caught dealing drugs. Inci is a political prisoner, in prison for her left-wing opinions; she is also Baris's best friend, they invent games, they look at the kites, the birds and they dream.
The author of the story was also a political prisoner during the years of oppression following the military coup in Turkey.
The movie provides good insight into the prison life and things could only be worse in reality.
The kite is the symbol of freedom, literally freedom in Baris's case and freedom of thought for Inci.
