Ten-year
old Gulistan and her younger brother Firat live with their parents in Turkish
Kurdistan, a territory of great civil strife. Their happy lives are interrupted
by violence when Gulistan’s parents are gunned down before their eyes by
paramilitary soldiers. They’re taken in
by an aunt, but she soon disappears without a trace, possibly another victim,
and the money she’s left the children soon dwindles to nothing.
Forced onto the street,
Gulistan is befriended by a woman who works as an “escort” and the children are
given a place to stay. But when Gulistan
sees one of the men who murdered her parents with her new friend, she begins to
plot a devious revenge.
Winner of eleven
international film awards, Before Your
Eyes is an eye-opening look into a little-known conflict and an unfamiliar
world.
