Şükran’s son Veysel works in a factory. Suffering as a result of her husband’s political actions, Şükran tries to save her son from the same fate. And, one day, Veysel disappears, just like his father. She tries to find him everywhere without any help from government authorities.
A magnetic performance from Zuhal Olcay accentuates the emotional resonance of Tayfun Pirselimoğlu’s subtly political road story. The journey of a daring mother who is denying the death of his son at all costs, lays bare the corrupt veins of the deep-state apparatus in 1990s Turkey.
