Summary: An unlikely friendship forms the basis of this powerful story of loyalty and courage. Mehmet, a cheerful young man from western Turkey, and Berzan, a Kurdish rebel in the underground, become fast friends while living in Istanbul. Mehmet is unjustly arrested, but the experience makes him aware of his country’s political realities. When the situation heats up, and Berzan is involved, Mehmet embarks on a sweeping, spiritual journey across Turkey to his friend’s Kurdish homeland. Graced with beautiful cinematography, JOURNEY TO THE SUN is writer-director Yesim Ustaoglu’s remarkable second feature.
