Toprak

Since the death of his parents, the teenage Burak lives with his uncle Cemil and grandmother in a remote Turkish village town. They try to make a living by selling pomegranates, but while the religious Cemil is satisfied to live his life in poverty, Burak struggles to find a way to leave for the city and go to university. When the grandmother gets sick, both have to make tough decisions that will change their lives.
