A gripping Turkish drama by Emin Alper (Burning Days) in which a centuries-old conflict spirals into paranoia and madness.

In a remote village high in the Turkish mountains, the return of an exiled clan reignites a decades-old feud. As old wounds are reopened, Mesut is plagued by disturbing visions. He regards them as divine warnings and begins to question his brother’s leadership. Religious beliefs, power struggles, and tensions run high within the community.
