Declaration

film director

“Worrying about the whole world while raising a child must be one of the most manifest state of maturity that motherhood brings to a person. Although this sometimes serves the selfish purpose of making the world beautiful just for her own child, it is almost a skill that comes with motherhood to organize every place that she can reach and afford. What makes motherhood sublime is that only having a child makes possible to accept the uniqueness of all human beings. With Münhasır I wanted to convey the emotion of a mother who has recently buried her daughter and relate the story how ‘the last belonging that remains from her daughter’ becomes a symbolic item that represents her ‘uniqueness.’”
