The story started a little too slow. I had many questions in the beginning, as the characters and the mise-en-scene of some flashbacks were not fully explained. The director definitely kept us in the dark for too long. But after my questions found answers - somewhere half way during the movie - I started to feel more empathy for the characters. I LOVED the acting; Yonca's acting especially! And what I LOVED the most about this film is the portray of the location i.e. How the residents live, walk, talk and behave. Using real residents from this deprived area really gave this film a magic touch.
Great job director!

Turkish drama film directed by Mehmet Ada Öztekin and starring Sarp Akkaya, Ercan Kesal and Songul Oden, scheduled to be released on Netflix in 2021.
Akkaya and Kesal are amazing actors. The story is touching. The movie sticks to itself. It's an average drama and good at it.

A drama that is also a thriller. A movie that is dramatic with social issues - but also with quite a few twists along the way. And a movie in general that maybe thinks it's way more clever than it actually is. That being said, this is more than a solid effort overall and the acting really elevates it. Even when it is borderline and you are thinking that it may be a bit too much what you are getting served.
But to what lengths a father wouldn't go to find out the truth? But what truth is it? And will it be sufficient? And how easily can you manipulate someone like that? All questions that are more than valid. A strange ending to say the least, with strange emotions ... but depending on your moral views and connections to the characters it will either work or not ...

The acting was superb cinematography was fine music was fine a little long but what I really couldn't get over is the whole moral code of a father protecting his daughter now I have lived in the Middle East a large part of my life and I've also known a lot of Turkish people both in Istanbul and in the states they are very strong in their convictions in general but this morality play Has to be updated -even for turkey It plays like something more from maybe the third or fourth century. Like Lebanon turkey was once a very modern state for that area.
I was searching on Netflix what film to watch and this caught my interest. It has all the ingredients of a good film. It's one of those films that make you think rather than let the film think for you.
I really enjoyed it, the acting is superb, the small details such as the guitar playing in the background, the rundown drug infested town the gaunt looks of the drug users the scene where you see the dead body of Musa's daughter all added to this film.
It's one of those films where you are emotionally involved and it leaves you thinking about it for the next few days.
I would definitely recommend you to watch.
