Like all Ozcan Alper films, this is a quiet, reflective film that deviates from the mainstream. Don't expect fuss or thrills. Immerse yourself in a pensive journey with Yusuf and Heves Ali masterfully acted by kivanc tatlitug and settar tanriogen and let the tears flow. The cinematography is also stunning and the folk music is beautiful. The film's theme is summarised towards the end ... it is not always about happy endings or problem resolutions ... even when time is running out, it is often difficult to open up and resolve deep rooted relationship issues and overcome deep seated hurt. A beautiful film that should be watched.
