Before Snowfall (2013) delves into the complexities of family honor and the lengths one might go to restore it. Siyar, the eldest son in his family, faces a daunting task when his sister, Nermin, runs away from an arranged marriage. Compelled to redeem his family's honor, Siyar embarks on a journey from their modest Kurdish village to the bustling city of Istanbul. Along the way, he encounters Evin, a young girl living on the streets, whose presence begins to challenge his unyielding resolve. As Nermin flees to Europe, Siyar's quest continues, forcing him to confront his beliefs about loyalty, dignity, honor, and love. Through stunning visuals and a gripping narrative, the film explores the chilling reality of honor killings and the intricate social dynamics that perpetuate this tradition. Director Hisham Zaman masterfully portrays Siyar's internal struggle through the performance of newcomer Taher Abdullah Taher. As Siyar's bond with Evin grows and he ventures farther from home, the film poses critical questions: Can Siyar break the cycle of violence? Is escape truly an option?
