Synopsis
How does a signature change a person's life? How many people's lives affect by the signature of a persons' individual will? How far back is it necessary to start life again? The schools you studied; high schools, universities… Is it possible to leave them all behind and start a new life? Ulaş Bayraktar, who was dismissed from Mersin University by Decree No. 689 on April 29, 2017; Since the day he lost his father in a clash of arms when he was five, who was a captain in the army, he became one of the signatory academics, believing that the conflict that has been going on for nearly 40 years can be resolved through peace. After a "signature" that created a shocking change in his life, he sought ways to be together with books, people and young people. In the end, together with Ayşe Gül Yılgör and Galip Deniz Altınay, who are peace signatories like himself, they built the alternative academy of Mersin, the Kültürhane, which demonstrated that the academy corresponded to meanings far beyond the buildings and titles. 'Looking to the Horizon' starts from the story of Ulaş Bayraktar, who shows that joy is a form of resistance, and witnesses the transformation of a space with different stories and solidarity into a huge island of hope.
