Emin Alper returnes with an unsettling parable of fear of the others, in which exile and return fuel division, buried history resurfaces, and new power emerges by weaponising the past and old beliefs.
Synopsis
In a remote Kurdish village in Turkey, the return of an exiled clan reignites a decades-old land dispute. As tensions rise, two brothers — one a family man and village fighter now drawn toward power, the other a charismatic preacher seeking influence — lead their village into a brutal struggle with their neighbours that spirals into hatred, paranoia, and catastrophic rupture.
