Sinekatalog’s take
A Turkish drama about the strain placed on families when men migrate to Germany to work, leaving wife and son behind in the village. It addresses a real social wound of the era. For viewers interested in Turkish gastarbeiter stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
