In Susuzyurt, a Hemshin plateau in the Kaçkar Mountains, all days tend to feel the same during August. 13-year-old Marte, whose greatest passion is horseback riding, falls in love with a girl, Lusnika. His grandmother says he could get anything if he wants, but can he?

The debut from award-winning Turkish auteur Özcan Alper, Momi takes place in the Eastern Black Sea region, where the director himself comes from. Narrating the struggles of a young and innocent boy, Momi is a moving coming-of-age tale and the very first film to be shot in the Hemshin language.
