Summary

After revenge, only ashes remain. Saýara is a discreet young woman who works as a cleaner in a gym. One day, she surprises her sister, the exuberant and free-spirited Yonca, with Baris, her boss. Saýara doesn't take kindly to Yonca's antics. It's not long before Yonca finds herself in big trouble. For Saýara, anyone who touches her sister must pay - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Our comment

After several years without releasing a feature film, Turkish director Can Evrenol returns with an ultra-violent revenge movie that mixes sexuality and Jujitsu. Closer to the thriller than to the fantastic horror cinema to which he accustomed his audiences with Housewife (2017) or Baskin (2015), Can Evrnol explores with Saýara the paradox of the law of Talion and the bitterness left by revenge, far from the appeasement and satisfaction of having done justice.
