In the half-light of dawn, Halil falls down dead, murdered. His wife, Elmas, cries for justice, but, in fact, there will be no investigation. Life goes on for Elmas: during the day she works in the rice paddies with her little boy and, at night, she goes to catch frogs with the other villagers.
Unfolding in a hostile, patriarchal environment, this unwavering classic navigates the tumultuous terrain of a woman’s life. Contemplating the intricacies of provincial Turkey, Şerif Gören creates an unapologetic character study that impresses as a compelling exploration of human resilience.
