I was commissioned for this project for the Barcelona Human Rights Film Festival. I translated the original script from English and Turkish into Spanish and reviewed it.

During the civil war in Turkey, several killings were committed, and many people were arrested. The mothers and families of those missing in custody have been holding demonstrations every Saturday for the past 15 years. These mothers are call themselves the Saturday mothers. The project tells the story of the encounter between an ex-soldier and a mother whose son went missing under custody.
