A snowbound Turkish village becomes the setting for an atmospheric blend of mystery and social critique.
Asil (Merve Dizdar) is a young nurse who has come to a small Turkish village locked in what seems to be a never-ending Winter. The locals in this patriarchal society are suspicious of this young independent woman and she in turn does not trust them. When a local person goes missing, the blame is quickly attributed to bears, but Asil believes the answer to the mystery lies elsewhere.
First time feature director Ergun employs a fairy tale title and evocative cinematography and sound design to create an almost mystical feature that works on many levels.
