Going home and finding love. Is it too late?
Sentenced to jail as a 22 year old political prisoner, Yusuf is being released from prison 10 years later. Seeking peace and refuge, he returns to his small village on the Black Sea. Looking for nothing other than solitude, he finds himself irrevocably attracted to Eka, a beautiful, young German prostitute. Transporting us with beautiful cinematography to the mountainous region of Turkey, Autumn insightfully invites us into the hearts of two tortured souls who struggle to combat loneliness. Flashing back to the wasted years, which were unfairly stolen from him, Yusuf desperately wants to connect with Eka. But he is reluctant to tell her a secret, which may drive her away forever. A tale of redemption, reconciliation, love, and ultimately humanity, Autumn is a story that you will not soon forget.
