About
** Co-presented with Seattle Turkish Film Festival and Romanian Film Festival curated by ARCS **
Haunted by her long suppressed past and pressured by family to seek treatment from mystical healers for her infertility, a Kosovar woman struggles to reconcile the expectations of motherhood with a legacy of wartime brutality.
“Kastrati’s documentarian’s eye … captures rich details in the simple lives of Lume and her community. It’s a contradictory world … in which faith in God and in the powers of hucksters and healers are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.” – Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
About Seattle Turkish Film Festival
Inaugurated in 2012 by the TACAWA Film Committee, Seattle Turkish Film Festival has become one of the most admired and venerated events of the Turkish American Cultural Association of Washington. The film festival is a non-profit, volunteer-driven event, committed to bringing the best of Turkish films to Seattle in an effort to provide an international platform for talented filmmakers working in both short and feature length formats to showcase their work.
