Hesitation Wound

Canan (Tülin Özen, superb) is a no-nonsense attorney who spends her days in the courthouse and her nights in the hospital with her gravely ill mother. Her mother’s condition is a matter of great contention between Canan and her sister. As her defence of her client comes to its suspenseful conclusion, Canan is faced with an incredibly difficult decision that could have significant consequences for her mother, her client, and even the judge on the case. Director Selman Nacar studied both law and film, and his immaculately paced, gripping and morally complex film is a perfect expression of his dual interests. A hit at festivals all over the world, Hesitation Wound’s impact will linger long after the final credits.
