Private Project

THE HOPE

20-year-old Çeto lives a quiet and modest life far from the village with his deaf and mute little sister Zeyno and their father Mustafa, who struggles to make ends meet. In this humble world of his, Çeto meets a livestock trader named Emin on his way back from town one day and introduces him to his father, helping them get involved in animal trading. He believes that, in doing so, he has found a solution to the family's financial problems.
However, this new arrangement begins to threaten the sheep — the only keepsake Zeyno has from their late mother. As things escalate, Çeto, albeit unwillingly, leaves his sister facing a difficult choice.
