Mom’s Pale Flowers

Bahadir, a struggling artist in Istanbul, returns to his Anatolian village after his father’s death, only to face more than grief. His father has left behind a widow, a vineyard on the verge of collapse, and crushing debt. Over the course of a week, Bahadir’s sense of purpose unravels. His artistic ambitions feel hollow as he reconnects with childhood friend Ahmet and ex-lover Feride, both disillusioned by their own lives. Yet even this familiarity is fleeting—climate change, drought and economic turmoil have made cultivating grapes unsustainable.As drought chokes the land and debt looms, Bahadir must choose: fight for a fading legacy or sell everything and leave. Either way, something will be lost.
