When a dam swallows a valley in Turkey, destroying the property of its residents, a mountain community is displaced into a concrete world, searching for a place they can call home. A visually enchanting cinematic masterpiece that manages to stir an emotional response solely from the aesthetic aspect of the haunting imagery of the decline, collapse, and abandonment of a place.
