A resonant drama reflecting on the Kurdish experience of dispossession and exile. Kurdish-born Rojîn, a doctor living in Helsinki, Finland, has spent most of her life far from home. Now 40, she faces a strained relationship with her 12-year-old adopted daughter Azad and tension in her marriage. A visit from her father Nîzam from Sweden forces secrets to surface, revealing Rojîn's unknown past. Filmmaker Erol Mintaş crafts a restrained, visually poetic second feature using Nordic light and sombre hues. The film features a cast including Dilan Gwyn, Feyyaz Duman, Zenan Tünc, and Ali Seçkiner Alıcı, with dialogue in Kurdish, Turkish, Swedish, Finnish, and English. Produced by Sons of Lumière, this is a world premiere at the 2026 International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). A screening takes place on 28 January 2026 at Harbour Cinema, marking the festival's dates of 28 January to 7 February 2026.
