Our take

Kıvanç Sezer’s acclaimed debut film is an insightful drama that has Turkey’s ruthless construction sector as its backdrop. The first part of a trilogy focusing on the hidden stories behind high-rise flats, My Father’s Wings has a keen eye for the small and large cruelties of class struggle.
