Our take
In his blistering directorial debut, Mete Gümürhan explores the nuances of brotherly bonds in a traditional sports academy. As bodies become entangled on the grass, the unobtrusive camera captures a richly textured story of camaraderie and competition imbued with compassion, humor, and endurance.
