Overview
In the southeast region of Turkey, the Altun family lives in a small mountainside village plagued by a 25-year war, making their daily life a hellish struggle. As the war continues to intensify, the family is forced to migrate west to the city of Istanbul. While Haydar and Isa Altun decide to stay in Turkey with their young children, Davut Altun and his family migrate north to Norway, enlisting the help of smugglers. They eventually reach their destination and find work in a supermarket, but life as refugees proves relentless. Back in Istanbul, Haydar watches over the family as his wife undergoes an operation due to pregnancy complications. Their son makes friends with a group of transvestites, helping him to understand why he has felt different all of his life. While liberating, his newfound identity is seen as a disgrace to the rest of his family, leading him to flee from the abuse it produces.

I Saw The Sun Synopsis
A mountain village perched on the border between two worlds… The house where the Altun family has lived for generations… However, the family has been cut off from the village by the forced migration policies. This is the story of their moving from east to west. Haydar and Isa Altun come to Istanbul with their families and decide to stay here. However, Davut Altun, his wife and children set out for Norway with their eyes set on further away…
The film, spanning 25 years, tells the experiences of three families trying to find their feet in a foreign environment. It is a film that condemns all kinds of discrimination and marginalization and argues that war, fighting and contempt for those who are not like oneself are a problem in itself… The story that emerges in the film is a story that belongs to all of us, this country, to Turkey…
