    The sad truth of honor killings are brought on screen. It was quite a good film. Usually the films that come out of Turkey are less quite bad, but this one is an exception.

    Next time, I will see it in Spanish, not in Turkish. That way, maybe I will like it even more. Well, seriously, I watched it in Turkish!, so I can not make a great appreciation from the film. It didn´t seemed to me a wonderful one (but as I said, I could not understand the dialog...( read more)s, just to deduce it, however, I think I and my ex-girlfriend did it quite well), but I assign 3 stars because it had a few powerful scenes, and because it treats about a very intense item in a country where is particullarly important to fight against these kind of costums. The plot is about a woman which is raped, so his husbands ask someone in the village to kill her because she has lost her honour. However, he is not able to do it, and escapes with the girl to the city. There, they will try to get a new life, finding interesting people, but danger continues being close to them...
