MEMORIES OF THE WIND

A look at the persecution of minorities by the Turkish government in World War II. A gripping story of an Armenian artist who has to flee Istanbul and goes into hiding in the countryside.

With Memories of the Wind, the Turkish auteur Özcan Alper chronicles the realities of life on the margins while showcasing a style as assured as it has ever been. A tale of homelessness, loneliness, sadness, impossibility, hope, passion, longing, and ultimately love.
