This controversial - and recently banned - film was the winner of several awards, including Best Picture at Turkey's prestigious Golden Orange Film Festival(2001). At the film's heart is relationship between a nationalist, authoritarian judge and a five-year-old Kurdish orphan girl Hejar. The judge, who is the girl's neighbour, takes her in following a botched police raid that results in the death of her guardian.
The film gives good portrayals of how the Kurdish people were afraid even to speak their own language and how they have been denied as a nation.
