The idea was good but the film did not deal or show well known problems deeply. It just mentions and by-passes every important issue. Moreover, the director does not show us the characters in detail, not even the teacher. There is only one scene with snow in the entire film, but it is too little for the harsh winters of south-east of Turkey. There are some wonderful photographic scenes and views, but the film could be much better if it shows us the people and problems with more detail. It just shows us the communication problems of a Turkish teacher with the Kurdish students. (This is not a spoiler as it also writes in the first sentence of the Storyline: One year in the life of a Turkish teacher, teaching the Turkish language to Kurdish children in a remote village in Turkey) So there is nothing more to say about this film.
