About This Movie

Things Unheard Of presents a poignant slice of life through the eyes of a young girl, Sevîn. The atmosphere is heavy with longing and a bittersweet sense of responsibility as she attempts to bring joy and connection to her grandmother, who is bedridden and mute. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence to hang in the air, amplifying the emotional weight of each scene. The performances, especially from the child actor, feel genuine and raw, capturing that unique blend of innocence and depth. The film's use of practical effects is subtle yet effective, often relying on natural settings to enhance the story's intimacy. It’s a delicate exploration of language and family ties, set against a backdrop that feels both personal and universal.
