The smuggling of refugees from the war-torn Middle East into economically ravaged Greece is the backdrop to actor turned first-time director Onar Saylak’s impressive screen adaptation of Hakan Günday’s award-winning thriller. Quiet teenager Gaza (Hayat Van Eck) follows dad (Legendary Once Upon a Time in Anatolia star Ahmet Mumtaz Taylan) into the family transport business. An able apprentice, Gaza rises quickly as he witnesses the dark harrowing despair of those fleeing war.
