Before Your Eyes

Turkey

A good one. Two Kurdish parents are murdered by paramilitary forces in front of their children who are then left to fend for themselves in an unnamed city. Their lives are not as awful as they could have been as homeless street children...this seems a bit unrealistic. The girl is 10 her brother younger. She has a wide-eyed, knowing affect similar to Ana Torrent at her age which helps the film immensely.

The resolution is ambiguous but it's implied that they are clever and resourceful enough to survive this huge blow early in their lives. They even effect an appropriate revenge on their parent's killer.

Solid work.
