I personally loved this movie, must the be the second best Turkish movie after Babam ve oglum. A story about the differencies in the eastern and western Turkey. How woman's role can be so different in these different parts of the same country! 5 starts!

This is an amazing film. I watched it Friday night with english subtitles. It really shows that contrasts between eastern and western Turkey. I would recommed to everyone to watch it. It is heartbreak and also endearing.
