Editorial
A border-crossing fable told through the wide eyes of a child, Ziazan disarms with its innocence while quietly indicting the bureaucratic absurdities that divide lives. Best known as an actor, Derya Durmaz here steps behind the camera to craft a bittersweet miniature of quiet defiance and longing.
