Houses with Small Windows (2013)
Houses with small windows is a powerful and yet muted portrait of an honor killing in the rural Kurdish Southeast of Turkey. 22-year-old Dilan pays for her forbidden love for a young man in a neighboring village with her life. She has shamed the family and therefore must die at the hands of her own brothers. And, as tradition will have it, the killing must be compensated. Yet another victim is made. 6-year-old Emine is given to the relatives of Dilan. A sobbing child snatched away from its mother, reduced to a mere commodity.
