Close your eyes to see.
In a remote Muğla village, a pregnant woman faces a brewing conflict. All the men have left to work in mines, leaving the women alone and vulnerable. The only person oposes this situation is Gülsüm, a nomadic outsider. Her unconventional lifestyle and beliefs clash with the village’s traditions. As tensions rise, the village chief isolates Gülsüm, forbidding others from interacting with her. With childbirth imminent, Gülsüm faces a crucial decision: conform to the system or trust in her own instincts and the natural world she holds dear.
