Son Hasat

While his wife is willing to adapt to the circumstances, Ali continues to resist. When an accident causes one of the bosses to disappear from the scene, Ali's situation becomes increasingly complicated. He begins to search for ways to escape the misery and attempts to illegally smuggle reeds. It’s a risky venture and certainly not without danger. Son Hasat has a slow-burning, yet deliberate pace. You can feel the lethargic nature and rhythm of daily life in this Turkish village, located in the heart of Anatolia. As the film progresses, you understand why the people have become accustomed to the power dynamics that form the core of the story.

The Turkish reed fields provide the breathtaking backdrop for an allegorical tale of people slyly seeking a better life. But that is never without risk. The landscapes of water and reeds are filmed in a spectacular way. They make the environment just as important as the characters. The reed fields are captured through unique camerawork, turning them into a labyrinthine, claustrophobic, and suffocating character in the relentless struggle between good and evil, where the boundaries between the two continue to blur.
