A love story between a Turkish woman and an Iraqi Kurdish man just at the beginning of United State's invading Iran, but also a national allegory (as Frederic Jameson suggests). The political atmosphere in Turkey against American attack to Iraq can also be seen in the background. In addition, a relation between two people, who cannot understand each other's language (although they are coming from two cultures which have been geographically and culturally neighbors for hundreds of years) and communicate in a third one (The language of the occupier: English), somewhat symbolizes the relation between the cultures in the region. A quasi-documentary based on a true story. One last note: The film was censored in Culturescapes Film Festival (Sweeden) because of the thread of Turkish Ministry of Culture to withdraw their financial support for the festival...

@Debbie. The fact is that we're all living under the wage of personal misunderstandings, mistakes, etc. and in an intense to find the breath of truth, something to make us happy and to feel liberated from the curse of our nation/society, somewhere in the Balkans, the Middle East and the West Asia.. Very good pictures, wonderful pictures from Istanbul, Turkey, and Iran.

Fantastic film!!!!!!!! I am confused by the ending. Did Ayca and Hama get together? The end seemed to suggest he was shot at crossing the border and just leaves us there hanging. Please tell me as I am dying to know!!!!! Debbie
