"Zerre" is a production that masterfully uses the universal language of cinema to tell the story of a woman lost in the crowd of metropolitan Istanbul. The film, which won the "Golden Saint George," the grand prize at the 35th Moscow International Film Festival, received rave reviews from international critics. Described by Variety magazine as "a powerful and simple portrait of people trying to live on the edge of contemporary society" and by The Hollywood Reporter as "notable for its shocking realism,"

 

"Zerre" was able to transform a local story into a universal narrative with the story of Zeynep trying to hold on to life with her little daughter and mother, screening in 30 countries. The film, which also garnered appreciation for Marton Miklauzic's cinematography and Tora Aghabayova's art direction that complemented the atmosphere, is considered one of the contemporary examples of social realist cinema.
