A film student from Ankara University returns to
his Kurdish village in southeastern Anatolia for his brother and
sister’s wedding. The brother, Seydo, and the sister, Perde,
will marry another brother and sister in a traditional marital arrangement
known as Berdel. Seydo, who has already sacrificed himself to put
his younger brothers through school, now makes an even greater sacrifice––of
his happiness––so that his sister may marry the man
of her choice. This autobiographical documentary follows a real-life
story that has all the elements of a captivating melodrama. In
Turkish and Kurdish with English subtitles.
