A very successful first feature-length attempt by the director as an example of minimalist cinema centering children where orphaned siblings Ayse and Ahmet who had to live with their old and disabled grandfather after the death of their mother while their ignorant, good for nothing father leaves them to marry with a woman who does not want them. This heart-affecting movie reflects the love between siblings from their eyes very effectively as a heartbreaking story of the unfortunate reality of our world. Congratulations to amateur child players Elif and Mehmet Bülbül as Ayse and Ahmet, and the director Atalay Tasdiken for his player management in succeeding a noticable performance from village kids Elif and Mehmet Bülbül. A must watch...
