Congratulations to director Bulent Ozlurk and co-writer/star Mizgin Mujde Arstan! “We shot this movie in difficult circumstances in only five days,” Arslan told Rudaw. “We went to Kurdistan to make a documentary about a real story with a real character, but then we decided to make it as a short fiction film. We wrote it, found the locations and local actors and shot the film.” Originally, the movie was supposed to be about Ozturk’s mother, who was given to another family as a young girl. “During the scheduled 10 days (for filming) my mother had an emotional breakdown. She couldn’t live through her past again,” accoreding to Ozturk. “It turned out that she was given away when she was only six years old and that she had hidden this information all these years from her close relatives,” Ozturk writes on his website. - See more at: rudaw.net/english/culture/07102013#sthash.GBcsUmAC.hmJHWHui.dpuf
