A deeply personal story of love and war

Turkish documentary filmmaker Huseyin Karabey teams up with actress and screenwriter Ayca Damgaci to tell this deeply personal love story set against the backdrop of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq that was based on true events and won them both critical acclaim and a slew of international film festival awards.

Ayca Damgaci puts in an incredibly powerful central performance as she carries the film virtually by herself with fine but fleeting support from Cengiz Bozkurt, Nesrin Cavadzade and Ani Ipekkaya as well as hilarious and emotional excerpts from the video love letters of as her leading man Hama Ali Kahn.

The filmmakers retrace the leading lady's curious journey from west to east in search of love putting the director's documentary film-making skills to good use capturing the flavour of the places the pass through and people to meet in a cinéma vérité that accentuates the human tragedy.

Only winds from the East.
