Synopsis:

Cinema Jazireh tells the story of Leyla, who searches for her son, whom she names Omid, or Hope, in Afghanistan, where the Taliban ruthlessly massacres those who do not belong to them. With this film, which competed for the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Gözde Kural returned to Afghanistan once again after Toz. Cinema Jazireh takes the search for hope from the geography of the film to a universal dimension by turning it into a symbol. Treating an extremely harsh reality as a classical tragedy with a Shakespearean aspect, this film has a nuanced script that is adorned with symbols, motifs and allegories. The cinematography, which intertwines a documentary-like observation with the use of the camera that gives us the feeling that we are spying, secretly watching, is extremely impressive. In the finale of this movie, which gives the viewer goosebumps at many moments, you will rebel against the injustice of a world that has forgotten the Afghans left to the mercy of the Taliban...
