BLACK RED YELLOW

Competition

The art of carpet weaving has a long history in Kyrgyzstan and is an integral part of everyday life. BLACK RED YELLOW follows the gifted weaver Turdugul, who travels from one commission to the next as a nomad, becoming part of her customers' lives for several weeks at a time as she completes her task. When Turdugul meets the unhappily married shepherd Kadyr during one of these assignments, the two fall in love – an encounter that Turdugul cannot forget. Decades later, she sets off on a final journey into the past.
