At nearly five years old, Alper recognizes his father from a photograph-and runs into his arms. That evening, another photograph shatters his mother's hopes and leaves the boy with questions he will carry across an ocean.
Raised by Rüya, a woman whose own dreams have been tested by love, cruelty and abandonment, Alper grows up determined to find the father he barely knows. His search takes him from Turkey to Germany and America, through young love, betrayal, danger and the pursuit of success. But money and independence cannot quiet the ache of a childhood spent waiting.
As the past reaches into his relationships, Alper must face a harder question: how can he build a family without carrying its deepest wounds into the next generation?
Inspired by true events, Roots & Wings is an intimate family story about a mother's endurance, a son's longing, and the difficult work of choosing what to hold on to-and what to leave behind.
