SIBEL
a film by :Çağla Zencirci & Guillaume Giovanetti
25-year-old Sibel lives with her father and sister in a secluded village in the mountains of Turkey's Black Sea region. Sibel is a mute, but she communicates by using the ancestral whistled language of the area.
Rejected by her fellow villagers, she relentlessly hunts down a wolf that is said to be prowling in the neighbouring forest, sparking off fears and fantasies among the village women. There she crosses path with a fugitive. Injured, threatening and vulnerable, he is the first one to take a fresh look at her.
Sibel, 25 ans, vit avec son père et sa sœur dans un village isolé des montagnes de la mer noire en Turquie. Sibel est muette mais communique grâce à la langue sifflée ancestrale de la région.Rejetée par les autres habitants, elle traque sans relâche un loup qui rôderait dans la forêt voisine, objet de fantasmes et de craintes des femmes du village.C’est là que sa route croise un fugitif. Blessé, menaçant et vulnérable, il pose, pour la première fois, un regard neuf sur elle.
