“The Bread Season” takes place today in the Kurdish city of Amed (Diyarbakir), located within present day eastern Turkey. Working class life is a daily struggle that places enormous pressure on the family and familiar relationships. This film follows the experiences of one such family and its members: Mahmoud, the father; Fatma, the mother; and Azad, their son, as they survive and dream of different ways of living while stuck in the open hostility of their family relationship.
