Our take
Winner of three awards including Best Film at the Istanbul Film Festival, Ahu Öztürk’s stark debut tells the story of a Kurdish cleaning woman who has to stay on her feet in Istanbul’s slums. This slow-burn mood piece starts as a grim tale of desperation, only to find hope in solidarity among women.
