Extended and restored version of Yılmaz Güney’s masterpiece “Yol”, winner of the Palme d’Or in 1982. Through the stories of five prisoners on temporary leave, the film exposes the harshness of Turkish reality, marked by state violence, the oppression of women, and the persecution of the Kurdish people. A powerful and indispensable portrait for understanding Turkish and Kurdish history.
