Annemin Zamanı

About This Movie

Annemin Zamanı is a poignant exploration of displacement and tradition, centered around Zehra Ana, a seventy-something matriarch. The film’s leisurely pace allows us to linger on her struggles as she grapples with the loss of her village life, replaced by the urban chaos. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia, and you can feel the weight of family expectations pressing down on her. The practical effects of the rural setting contrast sharply with the stark city life, framing her isolation. Performances are heartfelt, especially from the lead, who brings a depth of emotion to Zehra Ana’s character. It’s not just a story about moving; it’s about what gets left behind and how we navigate change. Quite compelling, really.
