Film in the fact that it contains so many posts. The beginning of the chain of command for the two soldiers remain, to ask for help, but help prevent ... cooked kitten martyrs .. etc etc etc ... yes the movie was a bit simple, but as one of the military service and was engaged as one of the east, I can say, and managed to become the film's visual beauty of the film they want to tell. I cherish the memories of watching a movie, and if it came to the film ... Monitoring that do not understand anything, because the military dialogs. Turkey has many years of terror. Thousands of soldiers were killed in this battle. Mother cried all the time. This film tells the little terror in the country. Have a good time ...
I found it quite successful. The scenes and shooting I'm waiting for the rest.angles are very good.
A very good film combining excitement and emotional depth at the same time. It is made with a different style to most Turkish films where the happenings are the most important thing than the style or melodrama. It can be considered American in the way the story occurs. Ufuk Bayraktar gives an incredible performance, you forget you are watching a film when he is on the screen and this helps to give importance to the bad situation they are about to go through. The director is talented and he can play with your mental states easily. One moment you laugh, and the next you cry, and even though the film is smaller than usual in hits you if you can empathy with characters.
In recent years Turkish cinema produces some very different and important films proving that the entire film sector here is going in a different direction with its next generation people. This is one of those films totally different than what we are used to, and very ambitious in what it tries to do. 9 out of 10

This exciting film is about the harrowing attempts at survival of two Turkish soldiers during a harsh blizzard near a communications station in volatile southeastern Turkey.
Ambushed, with limited ammunition and without their commanding officers the two main characters, yuppie Oguz and the ill-educated streetwise Bekir, two young universally conscripted soldiers who dislike each other, it is well acted, well filmed and with a fresh unique premise.
Filmed in a war documentary style with a minimalist but inventive approach it's a brutal, touching and visually striking story with situations observing courage under fire as well as the social divides in a uniquely militaristic country such as Turkey.
Succeeding well beyond the producer's expectations, it probably is the most original and unexpected success in an otherwise dry Turkish film season.
