Synopsis

Our take

Sisterly intimacy is rekindled beneath the spectacular snowy mountaintops of Anatolia in a tender tale of reluctant homecomings. A trio of impressive performances lights up the screen, adding warmth to this look at intergenerational differences, urban-rural divides, and the bonds that surpass them.
