This separation still impacts the Kurdish people today. Seyrane, was secretly communicating behind the border of Turkey with a man who became her husband. Her husband was living in Syria. To keep in touch and share their emotions, the couple was recording their voices to the audio cassettes.They then threw these audio cassettes from the Turkish border to the Syrian border. After Seyrane secretly passed the borders and got married to her husband, borders became her destiny. Seyrene communicated with her family at the border and always had to deal with the separation of her and her family.
