Experiencing Interruptions?

My most precious memory

Two entirely different souls cross paths: Ahmet, a mentally disabled man who has lost his way while searching for God, and a gay man who has found God on earth. During their compelling conversation, Ahmet, through the other's understanding of God, explores different layers of existence, the effects of male-dominated thinking on the world, and, most importantly, the nature of women. This brief moment leads to a profound realization in Ahmet's world. It becomes his most precious moment.
