The intensely lyrical “Times and Winds” depicts the bumpy emotional lives of three preteen friends – Omer, Yakup and Yaldiz – and the ways their families curb their dreams and desires. Omer, the imam’s son, harbors fantasies about killing his father, who favors his younger brother. Yakup turns against his own father when he discovers his dad has been spying on the beautiful schoolteacher with whom he’s infatuated. And Yaldiz is troubled by a budding sexuality after she witnesses her parents making love. This magical film – which Britain’s Telegraph says “deserves consideration for entry into the pantheon of great films about rural communities” – reveals the tensions that lie beneath the seemingly placid surface of a remote, beautiful and rugged mountain village untouched by the modern world.
