In a rural Anatolian village, 12-year-old Musa makes a living by catching rabbits for sighthound races with his father, Beko. Musa’s imaginary world, built on the mining site, is shaken when his father learns about state support granted to children with disabilities and forces him to act as if he is disabled in order to receive the aid. As this pressure triggers Musa’s quiet rebellion, the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. The film had its world premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and won seven awards at the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, including Best Film.
