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.
