Synopsis

On the first day of Ramadan, Hasan arrives at a railway station in the middle of wilderness. He has with him a wife and a young daughter. He has heard that the small station community needs an imam to lead the prayer ritual and teach the children Koran during the holy month.

Our take

In this touching Anatolian fable, Barış Pirhasan reveals a complex tableau of duty, love, and community. Through vibrant characters, he explores the tension between rigid doctrine and human compassion. A heartwarming meditation on the transformative power of empathy in the face of moral absolutes.
