Yusuf is an 18-year-old aspiring poet who can’t decide what to do after school. Should he stay with his mother, who’s just found a new partner? The lyrical variation on coming-of-age stories and the middle chapter of Kaplanoğlu’s trilogy, which follows up on Honey and Egg, reflects the changes in the Turkish countryside. (Summer Film School)
