Gülizar

Bride-to-be Gülizar believes a brighter future is on the horizon. When a violent assault occurs on her journey from Turkey to Kosovo where she planned a fresh start, she is forced to navigate a new path forward.

Twenty-two-year-old Gülizar (Ecem Uzun) was raised in a loving if strict Turkish home full of taboos and expectations for women and men alike. Longing to experience what lies beyond the only world that she and the women around her have ever known, Gülizar believes her forthcoming marriage and the promise of a new beginning over the horizon will herald a brighter future. Betrothed to her beloved Emre (Bekir Behrem), she is eager to leave behind her family and her homeland for Kosovo.Gülizar’s fairy tale, however, tragically turns into a nightmare when she is sexually assaulted en route.

There’s seemingly little that can be done to obtain justice and, with wedding preparations in full swing, Gülizar’s aspirations for happiness appear further and further away. Yet, secrets are hard to keep in close-knit societies. Moreover, there’s a veil between Gülizar’s past and present self, and she cannot find a moment of peace as the nuptials approach. The young bride suffers in silence, navigating a claustrophobic maze as she begins to suspect the assailant is among the guests.
