Plot
The son of a wealthy, respected family seeks the hand of Hazal; unexpectedly, soon after her marriage, her husband dies. According to custom, as the deceased family had paid dowry for Hazal, she must marry the next male sibling—which in this case, happens to be an 11-year old boy.
Sinekatalog’s take
A widow is obliged by custom to marry her late husband's younger brother, an eleven-year-old boy. The film examines tradition and women's constraints with seriousness. A significant pick for fans of rural Turkish social cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
