Working on mass graves in Bosnia, Bünyamin meets Zrinka in Mostar; guilt drives him back to Hasankeyf to face his family.
Haunted by childhood guilt for Zeliha’s death, Bünyamin flees into good deeds—exhuming bodies from mass graves in Bosnia. Before returning home he meets Zrinka, a psychologist attempting suicide on Mostar Bridge. Their bond pulls him back to Hasankeyf to face his brother Yusuf and father; Zrinka follows.
Faysal Soysal’s debut feature is a Türkiye–Bosnia co-production with Barış Yıldırım as line producer. Awards include ESKADER Best Turkish Film, Fajr Best Screenplay, Ankara Best Emerging Director and acting/cinematography/design prizes at Lake Van.
