Sinekatalog’s take

A sorrowful drama about a woman who lost her husband after a nuclear disaster and travels to Turkey seeking treatment for her sick son. Its subject matter is heavy and sincere, though the execution is simple. Moving for viewers who can accept a plainspoken tearjerker.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
