Summary: A powerful film, a participatory audience
Review: This is a very artistic piece. Not a traditional film with beginning, end and simple plot. It is a weaving of moments, a soundtrack which gives you the chance to experience situations through your senses, and to understand WITHOUT words.

I sat through this film, not understanding, and feeling that I almost didn't like it. It didn't try to convince me.

It IS a powerful cinematic portrayal of hardship among kurds, a portrayal of minorities without representation in any national majority.

I understood that later, slowly, as it unfolded in my head. I can't truly describe it. You must find out for yourself the importance of a film like this.

Summary: Let your heart break
Review: This is the most powerful film I've ever seen. It's absolutely heartbreaking. Think you know something of the world we live in? Watch this and open yourself up to the world as it exists for many of its inhabitants. I don't see how it's possible to watch this and not be changed from the inside out.
