Synopsis

The film follows the life of a poor, old woman defying the hierarchy in the village. Irazca is an old woman who lives with her son Kara Bayram, her daughter-in-law Hatice, and three grandchildren. The headman of the village sells a lot from the common land of the village to Haceli.

MUBI's take

Metin Erksan’s _Revenge of the Snakes, an adroit transformation of Fakir Baykurt’s social-realist novel, unflinchingly portrays the collapse of a rural society. Erksan’s discerning probe into the corrosive effects of prolonged neglect elevates this film to a timeless cornerstone of Turkish cinema.
