Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Reyhan, raised in a religious family, arrives at her grandmother’s house in a conservative Central Anatolian village, to spend her summer holidays. She has just had her first period and dreads the consequences of being unable to perform the required religious rites.
In this richly textured portrayal of rural Turkish life, tradition clashes with the awakening spirits of two young girls. Amid the pressure of societal expectation, their bond becomes a beacon of resilience. An entrancing exploration of womanhood and the courage it takes to defy ingrained norms.
