Really heavy movie. The first movie of the trilogy. People stuck between dogmas. Ignorance, greed, anti-science, hierarchy. Yes hierarchy, inability to reject male domination. The woman tries this but she can't do anything. And there is also a slight criticism of the social state. The surgery fee is so high. It should be free. Why wouldn't it do the surgery of a citizen with a hole in his heart for free? And that child dies again and is sick again. It happened in the movie Canım Kardeş. The ram is also a really sweet animal. People kill such an individual. Based on the fairytale story told by Ali Sen. Hülya Kocyigit set that animal free. I hope he was free in reality too. It ends with an unexpected ending. The man realizes his mistake, albeit late. He opposes authority and obsolescence. And of course, the movie beautifully addresses the issue of villages and rural areas with diminishing opportunities migrating to cities.
