The Wild Pear Tree
“What a father keeps hidden is revealed in the son.”
Drama
Fresh out of university, a Turkish young man with literary aspirations returns to his home village, and to his father, a debt-ridden man with a gambling problem.
VIBE
A quiet, contemplative drama about the weight of expectation and the struggle for self-discovery. It feels like a long, drawn-out sigh, steeped in the melancholic reality of small-town life and familial duty.
