A searing and riveting portrait of a family's quest to kill their niece Zuhre in an 'Honour Killing' - their unrelenting pursuit of her gives rise to a powerful sense of urgency to this film. Director Handan Ipekçi creates mounting tension with the use of the film within a film structure, feeding chilling flashbacks into the narrative in a fascinating race against time.
