Turkey / Fiction / 12' / 4K / Color / 2024

A man is stuck on the border between two countries. He has jeopardised his whole livelihood by spending the last money he had on a herd of cows that he awaits coming from the war torn neighbouring country. Amidst the sounds of explosions and distressing announcements made by the border authorities, the man's hopeful waiting for the cows, turns into the fear of losing everything.
