Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

Set in a small, snowbound village, this is the story of a man with extraordinary powers, who arrives unannounced just in time to restore a young boy to life after drowning. Welcomed as a miracle-worker, the tide soon changes as he turns to stealing and his inability to become part of the community becomes apparent. With this, his sixth feature, director Reha Erdem has once again created a film completely different from his previous work. The complex Kosmos is perfectly portrayed by Sermet Yesil, with his worldly, wise and profound ramblings about life, love and those around him, and the intracate plot, with its simple, but visually stunning approach, makes this a beautiful work to behold. The film bursts with philosophical ideas, mystical subplots and some truly surreal moments, while capturing the haunting sense of a seemingly never-ending winter and exploring the primal nature of man.
