Movie reviews

“Levent Semerci, master of the aesthetic image and award-winning director of renowned advertising films, reconstructs one of the greater adventures in modern Turkish military history with great attention to detail and by no means at the wrong time. The film draws powerful images and poetically tells of the fine line between life and death, of suffering and joy, and also of the soldiers' struggle for survival in the lonely and inhuman environment.
