Sibel
Sibel ist 25 Jahre alt und lebt mit ihrem Vater und ihrer Schwester in einem abgelegenen Bergdorf am Schwarzen Meer in der Türkei. Sie ist stumm, aber kann dank einer in der Region verbreiteten Pfeifsprache kommunizieren. Von den DorfbewohnerInnen ausgeschlossen, folgt Sibel insgeheim einem Wolf, der sich im nahen Wald herumtreiben soll und der Gegenstand der Fantasien und Ängste der Frauen im Dorf ist. Bei einer ihrer Streifzüge trifft Sibel auf einen verwundeten Flüchtling. Bedrohlich und verletzlich zugleich, sieht der Mann sie mit ganz anderen Augen als die anderen. (Locarno Film Festival)
Sibel (Damla Sönmez) lives with her family in a remote mountain village. She knows her way around a rifle and is determined to slay a wolf that has been spotted prowling the woods. Mute since the age of five, Sibel is a pariah among the women who regard her as bad luck. But she maintains friendship with her father, with whom she communicates via an ancient whistled language. Sibel’s routine is interrupted by the arrival of Ali, an alluring, wounded fugitive. Giovanetti and Zencirci have sculpted this lovely film with a balance of fairy tale elements, unfussy realism, and character and location–driven camerawork. (Kerri Craddock, Toronto International Film Festival)
