The conversation revolves around a meeting of tribal leaders and businessmen, discussing the future of the Middle East and the establishment of a new state, the State of Babylon. The main characters are Ferdinand, a businessman and idealist, and Polat Alemdar, a tribal leader.
Ferdinand presents his vision of a peaceful, democratic Middle East, where all religious and ethnic elements are united under the State of Babylon. He emphasizes that the state will be established through democratic elections and that all tribes will be part of it. However, he is met with skepticism, particularly from Polat Alemdar, who questions the feasibility of Ferdinand's plans and the motives of the businessmen involved.
The conversation also includes references to historical events, such as the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, which Ferdinand blames on the colonist powers. He also mentions the use of children as soldiers in the region, which is a point of contention for Esma, a woman who has experienced the loss of her friends and family.
Ferdinand's plans are met with resistance, and the meeting ends with the tribal leaders deciding to unite against him. However, Ferdinand remains confident in his vision and insists that he will establish the State of Babylon regardless of the tribes' support.
The conversation also includes a subplot involving the kidnapping of Safiye, a young girl who was kept in the camp by Ferdinand. Her kidnapping leads to a confrontation between the kidnappers and the tribal leaders, and the situation escalates into a violent conflict.
In the end, the conversation concludes with the tribal leaders deciding to unite against Ferdinand and his plans for the State of Babylon. The meeting ends with the tribal leaders signing a mutual agreement for peace, but the result of the voting does not favor Ferdinand.
