S1 E1: The peaceful life of Antoine Habert, a young Parisian businessman, experience turmoil after seeing a news report coming from Syria. It is 2014. The Syrian civil war escalates dramatically, as the Islamic State gains more territory, while purging cities and villages. But for Antoine, this is a personal quest: in the blurry video he believes to recognize his dead sister, Anna. Antoine, who never fully accepted Anna’s death, becomes obsessed with the video. He starts investigating, just to prove himself wrong. As time goes by, Antoine becomes convinced that this is in fact his sister, fighting against ISIS alongside Kurdish militias. Antoine leaves his wife and parents in Paris, and flies to Turkey to learn more about the mysterious woman in the video. In a series of events, Antoine decides to cross the border to Syria. The dangers of ISIS are yet to be known to most Europeans, and going for a few hours seems like an easy task. Antoine is about to be kidnapped by ISIS terrorists, when the entire group is attacked by the YPJ, a Kurdish all-female militia. They mistaken Antoine for an ISIS volunteer, capture him and take him to their base, in the frontline.
