Our take

Snow-draped landscapes in Eastern Turkey become a canvas for exploring the stark divide between urban and rural life in this ruthlessly unsentimental classic. Delving into a clash of worlds through the eyes of a midwife, acclaimed director Şerif Gören reflects with nuance on tradition and modernity.
