The second film in the Trilogy of Mother and Son, Snow tells a story about the relationship of a mother, a son, and a granddaughter living in a small village in the east of Turkey. It is about the grief of a mother who lost her son. Her dying wish is “a handful of snow”.
Under a cloud of grief, time comes to a standstill in Erol Mintaş’s expansive, elegiac short. The striking juxtaposition of static interior shots and the vast Eastern Turkish landscape evokes an all-consuming sense of melancholy, as snow-capped mountains bear witness to loss and political unrest.
