Zephyr is thematically following Belma Baş’s multi-awarded short Poyraz. The eponymous Zephyr is a strong-willed adolescent girl, who spends her summer at her grandparents’ country home on the foothills of Turkey’s Eastern Black Sea Mountains. Her mother finally shows up, but only to say farewell before going far away. But Zephyr’s determination not to let her mother go, no matter what, is so strong that it leads to a tragic consequence.

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
