-First name and last name?
-Lia Yanovski.

-Do you understand Georgian?
-Yes.

-How old are you, Lia?
-25.

Weight, height?

Can you undress now?

Hurry up.

When did you arrive in Georgia
from Ukraine?

Can you answer me, Lia?

Civilians are being evacuated
under challenging conditions.

Shelling intensified
in the city of Mariupol.

President Zelensky said Russian
soldiers kidnapped the mayor,

and that this is a war crime.

The latest images
from the agencies show that

the Russian army
is approaching Kyiv center.

A cease-fire is the only hope
in this dire situation

Once again, Zelensky urged
the West to impose sanctions.

Russian army besieges Kyiv.

Ukrainian troops are trying to ambush
and stop Russian armored vehicles.

Russia's 64-kilometer
army of destruction

was dispersed
in the Kyiv countryside.

Those armored units
have started maneuvring again.

Now they are awaiting orders

to attack the besieged capital
from two sides.

The Russian army
had entered Ukraine

through Belarus,
Donbas, and Crimea.

From the south, the troops
advanced as far as Melitopol.

10 Russian soldiers
kidnapped Mayor Ivan Federov

to break popular resistance.

President Zelensky's reaction
to Federov's kidnapping...

Mr. Ferhat, good morning.
Sorry to bother you, but...

Tell me, Poyraz, good morning.

We are having a problem with the
shipment of P80 primer to Japan.

The boss's secretary Dilek called.
Mr. Ahmet couldn't reach you.

I'll stop somewhere and call him.
Is that okay?

Okay, Mr. Ferhat, see you soon.

Why can't you guys get something
done by yourselves for a change?

Come on, get yourself together.

It's a long way to go.

Are you okay?

Mr. Ferhat, I've been trying to
put Ada to sleep for an hour.

She cries all the time.
I can't seem to...

Ms. Saadet, I'm driving.
Did you call Handan?

She won't pick up.
She must be in a meeting.

You should have called again.

I panicked and
called you without thinking.

Listen to me for a second. Does
she have a fever or something?

No but I didn't know what to do.

I give her milk,
but she won't drink it.

Can you make a video call? She
will be relieved to hear my voice.

The child is exhausted from crying.

Okay Ms. Saadet, let's video call.

My beauty.

My heart.

Listen to me, Ada

Ms. Saadet, I will call you later.

Let her sleep a little.

God, forgive me...

Did you lose your mind? How
could you let Ada talk to that girl?

I am driving. Can we talk later?

Are we going to call her
every time this child cries?

I'll call you when I stop driving.
Let's talk later.

Didn't we talk about this?

Handan, please. Later.

Please don't forget to call me
when you take a break.

I'll be on the phone.

Yo do what you need to do
and meet me here.

Yes Poyraz, tell me what's wrong.
The boss's secretary keeps calling.

Didn't you call our guy Salih
at customs?

I talked to him.
He mumbled something.

The shipment is due on the 23rd.

Okay, hang up, I'll talk to him.

Come on, get something done
by yourselves for a change!

I was going to call you.

I told you to get this girl out of
our lives as soon as she gives birth.

The babysitter called in a panic,
she couldn't reach you.

I didn't know what to do,
the child was blue from crying.

They got used to each other.
Developed a bond.

What was I supposed to do?
Let her cry? Do nothing?

I'm telling you
she couldn't reach you.

Pregnancy plus six months.
A year and a half in total.

They got used to each other.
Don't you get it?

It's thanks to you that
we have gotten to this point!

You're exaggerating.
It happened once, and it's over.

So don't worry about it.
She's leaving anyway.

-Give yourself a break.
-I'm not talking about that.

We are at this point
because of your nonchalance.

We should have sent that girl away
just after the birth.

Just because
the doctors told otherwise...

It was a mistake anyway.

-Okay, let's hang up.
-You just run away as always.

Your nonchalance, indecisiveness...
I wasted my most productive years.

I know, you never
really wanted it.

Is that what you think?

If you didn't want it...

Really, if you believed
it was so wrong...

Is it the time to discuss this?

We were going to send her right
after the birth, 6 months ago.

-I shouldn't have listened to you.
-Okay Handan, please hang up.

Lia? Pardon me.

Lia?

Excuse me.

Lia!

Where have you been?

I was here. Waiting for you.

How old was your father?

64.

Who is going to pick you up
at the border?

Did you talk to anyone?

Is your boyfriend coming?

Isn't he out of jail?

You planned to get him out
with the money you took.

He got out, and then he went to
Europe. Haven't heard from him.

Your father can't get out of
Ukraine anyway. Your mother?

I have no one but Ada.

Let me tell you something,

I promise.
I won't bother you at all.

Only on weekends. I come to the
park and see her from a far.

Let's go back to Istanbul, please.

No way. Don't be ridiculous.
It's not possible.

-Why?
-What do you mean why?

Why? I won't bother you.
I have no life but Ada.

Ada is gone, forget it.
There is no Ada for you. It's over.

What are you doing?

Don't be ridiculous.

We made a deal on the first day
at the agency. Remember the deal.

She is my daughter too.

I'll pay your money back.

Dear God!

I didn't think of it that way.

I thought I had a chance.

I just wanted to live my life.
I was young and in love.

We planned to
go to Germany together.

You can always go there.
Open the glove box. See?

You'll get the rest of the money
at the border.

Then you can go wherever
you want. Start a new life.

Okay, I'm sorry, but it didn't
work out. I couldn't do it.

It wasn't the same
after she was born, okay?

She is my daughter too.

Ada's mother is Handan,
and I am her father.

That's all.

Keep that in mind.

I am not a breeder.

You can't just throw me away
like nothing happened.

Salih?

Do whatever it takes
to get it done.

Why have I been paying you
for years?

When there are no problems,
everyone can manage.

Even a new graduate
will take care of the paperwork.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I would like to speak to Mrs. Nino.

Thanks.

Do what you have to do.
Bribe them, threaten them.

Just get it done. That shipment
will leave on the day.

Lia, have you lost your mind?

You'll ruin yourself and us.

If you do that,
they'll take the child away

and everyone will go to jail.

You'll ruin the agency too.

Then you can't come back here
like nothing happened.

You can probably imagine
what can happen to you.

Can I take it?

Now that I'm no longer
breastfeeding Ada, I can smoke.

It has been two years, I miss it.

Well, I miss it too.

It has been a long time.

I haven't sat in a place like this
alone for a while.

I meant smoking.

When I was a kid, my mom used to
get mad at me when I ate this.

Why?

My heart would ache,
and I would cry,

and she would become even angrier.

Would your mom let you?

My grandmother raised me.

Your mom?

My mom...

I had the same
recurring dream for a while.

Always the same.

I am standing on the edge of a sea
on the other side of the world.

Winter, storm, wind... The sand
beneath my feet blows away.

I am unable to move.

I can neither go towards the sea
nor walk back to land.

It's as if
I'm waiting for someone.

A black sky.

Then, slowly,
the water starts to rise.

I'm stuck there like I'm nailed.

I'm watching the water rise.

Water covers my body.

It's ice-cold. I'm freezing.

Then the water reaches my throat.
I wake up gasping for breath.

There is a painting

I thought of it
when you said that.

Monk by The Sea.

By whom?

By a painter named
Caspar David Friedrich.

How did your father
and mother meet?

In Ukraine? In Georgia?

In Odessa.
During the Soviet era.

When they were students.

You are good at painting.

Did you see it all?

Let's just say I had a look.

You drew the park in Batumi
very well.

There was a tree leaning sideways.

Nice work.

It's a good thing
you couldn't read what I wrote.

If I knew Georgian...

I wouldn't read it anyways,
don't worry.

These are your private things.

My privacy.

In fact, I didn't have
anything private.

For a year and a half.

It was like a prison.

A prison?

We didn't force you to stay, did we?
You could have left if you wanted.

Did you want me to go?

The doctors said she should be
breastfed, and you know that.

That's why you stayed after birth.

But, did you want me to leave?

-What does it have to do with it?
-I know you desire me.

But you are a coward.

You don't have the guts to
admit it to me or to yourself.

You will be 50 in 10 days.

Right?

You know, you are the one
who is imprisoned.

No love.

Always stressed out.

You will live for 10 more years
and then die from a lack of love.

Enough.

But what if it was about us?

Ada.

You.

Me.

Let's rest for an hour,
and then we'll eat, okay?

Okay.

What did you do, Ferhat?
Did you get her across the border?

No.

-I couldn't.
-How much time left?

We checked into a hotel outside Trabzon.

I forgot I had night blindness.

What do you mean? Did you
check into a hotel with that girl?

What was I supposed to do,
leave her in the car?

You know I can't drive properly
at night. I can't see.

Should I have kept driving and
had a crash?

I thought this route was
supposed to take twelve hours.

Got calls from the factory,
I had to stop once or twice.

I can't talk on the phone
while driving. You know it.

-So, it took longer.
-God, I'm going crazy now!

Just get one thing right, Ferhat!
Keep your promise just once!

Handan, for God's sake! It's okay.
Please don't drag it out.

It got dark early
because it was winter.

Didn't you say we should call the
police after crossing the border?

That she is dangerous
and could cause us trouble?

And you're staying in a hotel
with the girl!

So, where is she now?
Did you get the key to her room?

Oh, please! It's not like
I am going to lock her up!

What if she runs away?

What if you wake up and
can't find her in the room?

Can you tell me what you plan
to do? Do you have a solution?

It's your fault anyway
that we are at this point.

We are at what point?

Can you tell me at what point
we are because of me?

If you shared the same room,
it would be perfect!

I'm not stupid. I saw the way
you looked at that girl.

Okay Handan.
I'm hanging up.

What did your father do
for a living?

Truck driver.

Once he left, sometimes he was
gone for two or three months.

He would come for a few days
and then leave again.

So, it was me and my mom.

I lived in Georgia,
mostly with my grandmother.

I've spent my life
missing my father.

-Shall we get up?
-Fine.

-Good night.
-Good night.

I'm sorry.

About today.

I thought if I hurt you

my pain might go away.

Lia...

Don't go.

Let me have
two more minutes, please.

Sorry.

-Hi.
-What's up, dear?

I was a bit nervous when I called
you in the evening. I am sorry.

Apparently Ada hasn't eaten
anything. I panicked a little.

How is Ada doing now?
Not too bad, I guess.

She couldn't
bear the hunger anymore.

She drank a bottle of milk
and fell asleep right away.

Saadet also fell asleep,
so I opened a bottle of wine.

Enjoy it.

Ferhat, did something happen?
Why are you feeling down?

Nothing. I'm a little tired
because I've been driving all day.

And we have to leave early
in the morning.

My dear Ferhat, please be careful.

Look, if things go wrong,
both us and that girl will go to jail.

They might even take Ada away
from us. We will be ruined.

We won't be able to
look anyone in the eye.

Take it seriously, please.

And don't forget to report her
for theft after you drop her off.

Okay.

Okay, good night.

Good night.

A storm broke out.

This is good, you'll like it.

It's good.

Ukrainian, right?

What does it say?

"My life is full of pain."

"How could I let my life
end up like this?"

"I wish I had never met you."

Fero, I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

Aunt Zeynep came today.

She is an elderly woman,
she even has grandchildren.

She told me
I must breastfeed the baby.

And I said, "Auntie, you know."

She looked at my breasts. "It's okay.
Your milk will come eventually."

"Let her smell you. Otherwise, how
will you ever become a mother?"

I couldn't say anything, you know?

I, Handan,
who is not afraid to roar,

became a kitten at that time.

Then I called you.

To hear your voice.

And when you said
you were in a hotel and all...

I don't know, Fero.

Sometimes I say to myself,

would it be better to adopt a child?

You wouldn't have any part either.
We would be equal and all.

I never wanted that last abortion.

What the fuck do you know?
You knew it exactly!

Never mind.

Lia!

Lia!

Lia, stop! Lia!

Let me go!

-Where are you going?
-Let me go!

Let me go!

Stop it! I can't leave her.
Don't you understand?

Let me go!

Let me go! I can't stand it!

Stop it! Let me go!

Don't.

Don't do anything wrong.

We will all end up ruined.

She says her mother is Georgian.

I am going to take them
to the station, then.

This kind of incidents
happen a lot around here.

If you have been
subjected to violence or threats,

please say so
here and now. Please.

-Welcome.
-Hi, fill it up.

Of course.

Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you.
Which way are you going?

Hopa. Georgian border.

Very good.

-Hello
-Hello.

Forgive me, but who are you?

We are going the same way.
I thought we could take them.

Yes.

Did you think so?

-Thank you, by the way.
-Thank you.

What a chance!

Please excuse him,
he is a bit nervous today.

No, in fact, we're sorry.
We just got into the car like that.

We'll get off down the road,
we won't go far anyway.

Today, we are very lucky
you are going this way.

Very fortunate for us,
thank you.

-I'm Harun, by the way.
-And I'm Ilgın.

-I'm Lia. This is Ferhat.
-Nice to meet you.

Isn't your name Lia
a Georgian name?

-Yes, it's Georgian.
-What a beautiful name.

Which way were you going?

Sir, if we can get off
after another 30 kilometers,

we will continue towards Borçka.

Are you students?

No, I finished three years ago,
but Ilgın is studying philosophy.

Yes, this is my final year.

-She will graduate this year.
-Inshallah.

Are you doing a Black Sea trip?

No, we actually work as volunteers
in an ecology association.

Yes, we cover these high-voltage
transformers with insulation.

Gosh, why?

Bird migration takes place
during this season.

Birds get caught in the current
when they stop to stage

near high-voltage lines.
There are mass deaths.

We try to prevent it as much as
possible with the isolation method.

Bravo.

-Well done.
-Thank you.

Which birds, for example?
Honey buzzards?

How do you know about
the honey buzzards?

I'm from here. From Hopa.

They call the honey buzzard
the bird of fortune around here.

Beekeepers call it the bird of fortune
because it eats wasp larvae.

There are also the honey buzzards,
but we have been researching

white owls for five or six
years now, collecting data.

That's more or less
an endemic species.

Their migration route is actually
through the Mediterranean.

It shifted north
because of global warming.

They set out from Russia,

pass through Cefuka in Borçka,
then Antep and finally Africa.

By the way,
where were you going to get off?

We will get off in Hopa at the
Borçka crossroads. That's good.

-Alright.
-How will you get there?

-Hitchhiking as usual.
-How far is it?

It's a 10 or 15 minute drive,
right, Harun?

At most.

It's short. We can
take you there, right, Ferhat?

We don't want to trouble you.

No problem at all.
It's cold outside, and it's raining.

We are in no hurry. Right?

Ferhat?

Okay.

Of course, we can drop you off.

Thank you again.
Sorry for the trouble.

I'm glad you came.

You won't regret it.
Harun's coffee is delicious.

-You have done us a great favor.
-We would be miserable in this rain.

Coffee is great.
Thank you Harun.

As I told you before,
Harun brews coffee very well.

Yes, indeed.

I don't have any skill; the coffee
itself is good. It's Zapatista coffee.

-What?
-Viva Zapata

What?

You know, the indigenous people
of Mexico fighting for freedom.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure she called?

What do you mean, Ferhat?
Am I going to lie to you?

The woman in charge
at the agency told me.

Apparently she wanted to
cancel the agreement,

didn't want to leave the child,
and would pay the money back.

She said
she would go to the police.

The woman says

it will ruin them and ruin us
as well. Keep an eye on her!

Let's get this damn girl across
the border and get it over with.

I am really scared.
Nothing bad will happen, right?

Okay, Handan. Don't keep
repeating the same things.

I would like to ask you why
people insist on having children.

Excuse me.

Okay, we have to go now.
Come on, Lia.

Look, Ferhat knows this very well.

Hey Ferhat, we had some Chacha.
Come on, sit down.

Ferhat, sit down.
Look, you should know about this.

Why do people have children?

Do you know the answer?
Why do people have children?

It's instinct.

An effort to perpetuate the lineage.

Do you think love doesn't exist?
Is everything about impulses?

Just sex?

Not everybody wants to
continue to exist.

That sounds like
a consolation to me.

Are we really that innocent?

Let's say instinct
is the reason for everything.

What are we going to do
with affection then?

And love? What will happen to
all these feelings?

It seems to me that sometimes
you find yourself in a situation

where you have the delusion of
loving someone

you can't even tolerate
living in the same city,

let alone the same house.

I think.

I wish you stayed.

How idealistic they are.

Not so long, a few years later,

military service,
return from the military,

social pressure, regular work,

money, marriage, children...

And they'll realize...

They'll realize that life is like time
on the back of a galloping horse.

Unfortunately.

Is that what happened to you?

We were young when we got married.
We loved each other very much.

Maybe it was too early.

After 10 or 15 years...

You know what?

I realized that...

suicide is not just a physical act.

You can commit suicide
in other ways.

Can you open the trunk?

Officer...

What is the problem?

There is a landslide there.
The road is closed.

-When will it be available?
-It takes about one day.

What should we do?

You need to go back.
They will let you pass tomorrow.

You know what we should do?

Let's stop somewhere and eat.

Then we'll figure out what to do.

Alright.

Which way is your village?

Behind that hill.

What day is it today?

12th.

12th.

My aunt's son!
Welcome Mr. Ferhat.

-Thanks Şükrü.
-What brings you here?

Long time no see!

I had to take care of
some business at customs,

so I decided to look around
while I was here.

Pull over. What are you going to
do at the house all alone?

Welcome, sister-in-law.

No, we won't stay,
we're in a hurry, thank you.

Come on, my eldest son
is getting married today.

You will be my guests tonight,
end of discussion!

Go now. I will send a lad
to pick you up in a few hours.

Come on! Make way for him!

Şükrü!

But... Şükrü!

I haven't been
to the village in years,

and the day I finally come back,
there's a wedding!

Is he a relative?

Everyone around here
is related to each other.

My father's cousin.

Watch out!

Ferhat!

Ferhat!

Ferhat!

Welcome, Ferhat.

Thank you, Aunt Gülefer.

-Did you come with your wife?
-Yes.

Are you here for a wedding?

Yes.

After your father passed away,
your elderly mother lived alone...

for three years,
and you did not even visit her.

The house is in shambles now.

I wish you had come to her
when she was here.

Rats are running around now.

Hey there, Elmas, hey there!
Dust and ashes!

Do you want some?

What did she say?

She asked me
if I came with my wife.

What did you say?

I said yes.

Are you mad at your mom?

Today is the anniversary of
my mother's death.

Everyone thinks
she fell to her death.

My mother...

She committed suicide.

Are you Elmas's daughter-in-law?

What she said?

Say yes.

Yes.

What's up, dear?
You haven't called me.

It's done.

I dropped her off across the border
in the afternoon.

I went to the village
to spend the night,

and I thought I would visit
my parents' grave.

Good for you, my dear.
Are you leaving tomorrow morning?

The house's roof
is damaged on one side.

I'll find a repairman tomorrow
so that he can fix it.

Otherwise, it'll not survive
the winter and will collapse.

All right, dear.
Let me know when you leave.

Good night. Kisses!

Are you sleeping?

No.

Will you guys tell Ada about me?

I don't know.

I would like to see her
when she grows up.

What will she think about me?

Will she forgive me?

When I saw your childhood room
next door today,

I imagined that
you came here with her.

Maybe you will bring her along.

You know, when I was pregnant,

in Batumi,
during my first trimester,

Mrs. Handan was busy,
and she couldn't come.

You came alone.

You took me out.

We went for a walk
in the park on the hill.

I think I realized that day...

how I felt about you.

Mom?

It's me, Lia.

I will be at the border
in a few hours.

Yes, in Sarp, Batumi.

Can you pick me up?

See you soon.

TURKEY - GEORGIA
SARP CUSTOMS GATE

You don't need to come further,
I'll go by myself.

Take good care of her.

Mom...

Any news about my father?

Next!

First name and last name?

Oksana Kravchenko

-Do you understand Georgian?
-Yes.

Good.

-How old are you exactly?
-23.

Weight, height?

58 kg, 1.68.

-Do you smoke?
-No.

Alcohol? Vodka, wine?

Sometimes wine, but very little.

Only on special occasions.

Can you undress now?

And your pants.

Hurry up.

Okay. Turn around.

Good.

You can get dressed.

Take your bag and wait outside.

Next!
