Our take

Shot in the dusty town of Van in Turkey, Serhat Karaaslan’s enchanting short is a moveable feast, as the dynamic handheld camera chases after a group of boys running wild and playing football. The simple pleasures of childhood–like the taste of ice cream on a hot summer day–come movingly alive.
