Murtaza
2017, Turkish. Directed by Özgür Sevimli.
Sabure and Murtaza live in a mountain village in Malatya. Sabure lost both her eyes years ago. Her husband Murtaza takes care of her. Their children live in Istanbul. One day, Murtaza goes to the village and calls his daughter in Istanbul from the grocery store and learns that she is very ill. He goes to Istanbul without telling Sabure about her daughter's condition. However, his daughter dies that evening. Murtaza hides the news of his daughter's death from Sabure so that she does not become ill or sad. But Sabure becomes increasingly quiet, and over time, her loneliness and despair come to the surface.
