Cycle (2013)

As summer wanes, the remote village of Hasanpasa prepares for its annual shepherding contest, a time-honored tradition. Shepherds guide their flocks, one sheep at a time, across a shimmering pool, testing skill and patience. For eight years, Takmaz, an elderly shepherd, has reigned supreme, a testament to his mastery. He now feels a deep responsibility to impart his wisdom, sharing the subtle arts of shepherding with the next generation before his time is through, ensuring the legacy endures.
