The Wedding
Drama
A family migrates to Istanbul from the rural parts of Anatolia, and they bring their traditions with them. The men of the family are giving away the girls of the family in return for a hefty bride-price. Zelha, one of the girls, revolts against this attitude and tries to save her sisters.
VIBE
A heavy, somber mood permeates this stark drama. It feels like a slow, inevitable march through tradition, where familial bonds are strained by oppressive customs. Yet, a flicker of defiance offers a poignant, melancholic hope against a backdrop of stark social realism.
