Our take
An intimate yet sweeping journey between Germany and Iraqi Kurdistan, Soleen Yusef’s stunning drama keenly evokes the care and the tension that can exist among siblings. Death emerges as a physical and a spiritual return, compelling the characters to go to extraordinary lengths for their loved ones.
