Sinekatalog’s take

Derviş Zaim's film closes his trilogy on traditional Turkish arts with a story drawing on shadow play and miniature painting. Visually rich and meditative, it won the critics' award at Antalya for its distinct, patient style.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
