Cemal comes to Istanbul from a small Kurdish town after finishing high-school to pursue higher education. He feels isolated and out of place in the crowded city and soon meets a group Kurdish students who are against the repressive Turkish political system.
Kazım Öz’s The Storm artfully navigates the turmoil of student activism in ’90s Turkey, balancing political intensity with personal exploration. Its undogmatic depiction of Turkish and Kurdish characters interweaves campus idealism, youthful uncertainty, and the stark reality of a nation in flux.
