Emin Alper returns 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 village high in the Turkish mountains, the return of an exiled clan reignites a decades-old land dispute. Dormant resentments resurface and Mesut, the local leader’s brother, is seized by unsettling visions believed to be divine warnings. As religious convictions, power struggles and tensions surge in the community, will they move toward tragedy or salvation?
Quotes

“One of ‘Salvation’s’ greatest strengths is in capturing a subjective sense of the threat”
