Plot

A film about children growing up in a Turkish village, directed by Reha Erdem. Known in English as Times and Winds, the 2006 film follows three children over a season in the village, in a landscape of mountains and sea, and observes their rebellion against the older generation. It is celebrated for its images and its quiet, poetic style.

Sinekatalog’s take

Reha Erdem's lyrical film watches three children and their elders over a season in a Turkish mountain village. Poetic, sensuous and wild, it is a beautiful portrait of adolescence, nature and family tension.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
