Hisham Zaman : 2013
Før snøen faller
A road movie that becomes an odyssey from East to West for young Siyar, a village boy from Iraqi Kurdistan, who has overtaken the responsibility for his siblings after the death of their parents. His journey begins when his older sister, Nermin, flees her wedding. Siyar's father is dead, and as the eldest son, he is obliged to set out to find his sister and kill her to restore his family honour in the local village. In İstanbul he meets a young girl, Evin, and they travel together through Greece, Germany and Norway. During the journey through different cultures, Siyar gradually matures as he is forced to set in question the ethics of his cultural moral of honour-killing. Instead, the search for his sister becomes a search for dignity and love. Hisham Zaman's debut feature received the jury's honourable mention when it premiered at Tromsø Internasjonale Filmfestival 2013.
