Plot

A fisherman, his wife and young daughter who is unable to speak lives in a village on the shores of a lake. Their story starts with a myth of a fish, trying to find a cure for their daughter.

Sinekatalog’s take

A fisherman and his wife seek a cure for their mute daughter, guided by the myth of a fish. Zaim uses lake-shore beauty and folklore for a quiet fable of hope. A slow, visually rich Turkish parable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
