My Only Sunshine

Hayat, her father and bedridden grandfather live in a riverside shack near the dangerously dark but breathtakingly beautiful waters of the Bosphorus. Hayats father owns a small boat that secures the familys survival through a miscellany of not always lawful ventures. Beyond the motion and romance of the water, Hayats life is harsh and unrelenting. But Hayat has an instinct for survival. Her capacity for courage, endurance and hope in the face of these trials suggest that there is Life despite the manifold injustices of an unjust world.
