Our take
In his Golden Tulip-winning debut film, Seyfi Teoman imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity. Told through the eyes of a 10-year-old child, this minimalistic, bittersweet drama about an agricultural family integrates the characters into the landscape of a provincial Anatolian town.
