    Storyline

    Edit
    Yusuf is a 13 years old refugee boy who lives in a Turkish border town with his grandparents. He spends his days in a complete alienation. The only things, which make Yusuf excited, are the tumbling pigeons and the existence of a 15 years old girl, Amina, who absolutely doesn't have an idea of him. One day she comes to him and asks for a favor and that makes Yusuf very excited but shortly he realizes that he has to make a moral decision.

    love story
    A well crafted love story. A refugees camp. The first love thrill of a boy. The demand of her. And the power to change her life. The atmosphere, the minimalistic story, the cinematography are virtues of this touching short film about jealousy, fundamental decision and the loneliness. So, a beautiful film , first for the wise construction of emotion.
