nomansland (WT)
In a forgotten neighborhood of Northern Cyprus, best friends Ayşegül (17) and Adnan (17) dream of a life beyond the borders they are not allowed to cross. While birds fly freely across the divided island, the two sit on rooftops, talking about belonging, identity, and the future — gradually sensing the subtle changes that begin to threaten their friendship.
