Viewing Notes
Pretty tight thriller which highlights the mysogyny of present day Turkey as the male members of a Turkish family try to carry out an honor killing against their sister/wife/relative for an affair.
It expands from personal to political near the end, which is pretty abrupt. Otherwise pretty good.
