ATEŞIN DÜŞTÜĞÜ YER (OÙ BRÛLE LE FEU / WHERE THE FIRE BURNS)
A road story. Ayse suddenly falls sick and is hospitalized for an urgent operation. Her family is hugely supportive at first, but during the operation the girl is found to be fourteen weeks pregnant. Once recovered from the successful surgery, Ayse refuses to reveal the identy of her baby's father. The family who rallied to save her life, is now determined to kill her. Her father Osman, who takes on the task of killing her to save the family's "honour", sets off on a trip with Ayse. While Osman is plotting to poison his daughter, Ayse is blindly unaware of the conspiracy swirling in the background. The trip by father and daughter becomes an opportunity to get to know each other. It is a process tinged with strongly mixed emotions.
Ismail Gunes
Born in Samsun, Turkey in 1961, Ismail Gunes began his filmmaking career in 1977 as an assistant to Natuk Baytan. He made his first short film that year and went on to direct his first feature, BEFORE THE SUN RISES, in 1986. His 1999 feature, WHERE THE ROSE WILTED, about governmental oppression, was banned in Turkey for 20 years. He followed with NOTHING ELSE LEFT TO BE SAID (2007), the second film of his trilogy on violence. WHERE THE FIRE BURNS is the last film of the trilogy.
