Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
After a tragic miscarriage, Nimet, a middle-aged woman, feels trapped by her conservative social circle in Istanbul. Meanwhile, her younger sister Öznur carries a burden of her own, as she struggles against her inner demons.
In Doğuş Algün’s humane debut feature, loss does not announce itself, but settles quietly into the architecture of family life. In this acutely felt film, two sisters orbit each other with the kind of cruelty only intimacy permits, while the world beyond their relationship offers no softer ground.
