Morî – Yakup Tekintangaç

The only memory Morî has inherited from her father is the audio recording of a story he told him. Morî listens to this tale from time to time. One day, a new teacher is appointed to her school. When Morî sees the teacher, she thinks she is her father. Morî’s insistence on this issue turns into an emotional bond between her and the teacher. In “Morî”, director Yakup Tekinağaç, known for his award-winning short film “Azad” and his focus on the themes of childhood, identity, and belonging, tells the story of a fatherless girl with a simple and powerful narrative.
