An urban Turkish teacher is transferred for political reasons to a remote village in the mountains near the Iranian border of Eastern Anatolia. He is welcomed with distrust, but during that harsh year the mutual cultural misunderstandings fade away.
Erden Kıral’s snowbound classic A Season in Hakkari, a poignant narrative of exile and resilience, resurfaces in a stunning restoration. Adapted from Ferit Edgü’s poetic novella, this 1983 Berlinale triumph, once suppressed in its homeland, captures the scorching ethnic tensions of eastern Turkey.
