Müzeyyen is a “lost soul” who is still in high school despite being in her twenties and is more interested in spending time with her group of friends who have problematic family relations like her. Although she lives with her mother, Müzeyyen barely interacts with her. One day Ali, a brother she only knew about but had never met, suddenly makes an appearance. At first, she is determined to fend off Ali, whom she blames because of the comfortable bourgeois life he leads with his father, but Ali himself is determined not to give up on his sister. Over time, he wins his sister’s favor and tries to convince her to go to Bolu with him where she could have the same opportunities as him. Directed by Emre Erdoğdu, Snow is a striking film about siblings, parent-child relationship, and gender.
