Sınıflandırma: 5224 sayılı kanunun 18.01.2019’da değiştirilen 7. maddesine göre, değerlendirme ve sınıflandırması yapılmamış olan sinema filmleri; festival, özel gösterim ve benzeri kültürel ve sanatsal etkinliklerde ancak 18+ yaş uygulamasıyla gösterilir.

In the indigenous heartland of southeast Turkey, Meryem and her family begin the annual olive harvest. For generations, this sacred practice has sustained the village women’s livelihoods, but this year the harvest unfolds under a shadow of fear. As the government seizes their centuries-old land, Meryem picks up a camera to document the slow unraveling of her community and their fight to protect the place they call home.
