Plot

Şehirden tamamen izole, baskı ve disiplinle yönetilen bir yatılı erkek okulunda okuyan Yusuf, esrarengiz bir şekilde hastalanan ve durumu her an daha da kötüye giden arkadaşını hastaneye ulaştırmak istemektedir. Başlangıçta okul bürokrasi yüzünden hastaneye götürülmeyen Memo, sonrasında istense de karın, yolları kapatmasından dolayı bir türlü hastaneye ulaştırılamaz. Yolların açılmasını bekleyen öğretmenler ve öğrenciler, bu işten yakalarını sıyırmaya çalışırken, acımasız hesaplaşmalar ve sakladıkları sırlar da gün yüzüne çıkar.

Okul Tıraşı’nın fragmanını izledikten sonra sert, iddialı bir filmle karşılaşacağımızı biliyordum ve nispeten öyle oldu. Soğuğun her anını, yatakhane, duş alanı ve revirde hissettiğimiz filmde bürokrasinin kanatları altında neredeyse donma noktasına gelen, yatılı çocukların bir günü anlatılıyor. Okulun tasvir ediliş şekli bir kışla havasında, soğuk ve donuk. Etrafta çocukların yaşadığını anlatan tek şey çocukların izleyemediği kantindeki televizyonda oynayan çizgi film. Çocukların mutsuzluğu, suratlarına sinen ifadeyle birlikte her yerde karşımıza çıkıyor. Filmin tekin olmayan, imalar barındıran, sorular sorduran havası neredeyse film boyunca devam ediyor. Ailelerinden uzakta, sürekli öğretmenleri tarafından azarlanan, derin bir yalnızlık içinde oldukları belli olan ve dışarıdaki ayazdan dolayı neredeyse kaçacak yerleri bulunmayan bu yerde çözülmeler bir çocuğun hastalanmasıyla başlıyo...

Strict rules prevail at a remote boarding school in the mountains of Anatolia where Turkish teachers educate gifted Kurdish pupils from the surrounding area. Once a week, the boys are allowed to shower and, like everything else here, this process is monitored. One night, twelve-year-old Memo asks his friend Yusuf if he can sleep in his bed. But, afraid of gossip, Yusuf refuses. The next morning, Memo is sick and cannot attend class. The school’s heating has broken down and an icy winter’s day takes its course. Memo’s condition worsens. He is no longer responsive and Yusuf is only allowed to talk when prompted. Gradually, the events of the previous night are revealed.

Yusuf and his best friend Memo are pupils at a boarding school for Kurdish boys, secluded in the mountains of Eastern Anatolia. When Memo falls mysteriously ill, Yusuf is forced to struggle through the bureaucratic obstacles put up by the school's repressive authorities to try to help his friend. But by the time the adults in charge finally understand the seriousness of Memo's condition and try to get him to the hospital, the school has been buried under a sudden, heavy snowfall. With no way out and now desperate to reach help, teachers and pupils engage in a blame game where grudges, feelings of guilt and hidden secrets emerge, as time ticks mercilessly on and threatens to run out.

At a strict and repressive boarding school miles from anywhere, young Yusuf is anxious to get his mysteriously sick friend to hospital. At first, he is thwarted by school bureaucracy and then, once this is overcome, by heavy snowfall. As they wait for the roads to be cleared, teachers and students jostle to exonerate themselves from the circumstances surrounding the boy’s mystery condition, revealing ruthless vendettas and hidden secrets in the process...
