Gece

2014 · 102 min

A quiet, heavy portrait of a family coming apart, watching it feels like bearing witness to slow, inevitable loss.

Overview: A family forcibly displaced from their village struggles to stay together when Süsen, the daughter of an already broken home, defies her kin to marry her childhood love Yusuf. As her father and brother abandon the family and marriage fails to bring the dreamed-of salvation, Süsen and Yusuf must confront mounting responsibilities and learn to adapt, or risk losing each other entirely.
