Poster for Guilt

Reyhan, raised in a religious family, arrives to spend her summer holidays at her grandmother Ummu's house in a conservative central Anatolian village, accompanied by her mother Hatice, and her 6 year old brother Mehmet. The 13 year old is gripped by a state of inner turmoil. She has just had her first period and dreads the consequences of being unable to perform the required religious rites. Reyhan's concerns mount after she finds out the water supply at her grandmother's village house is cut off. She is desperate to find a way to perform the required religious ablution rites, which she has always been told will protect her from attacks by djinns and facial disfiguration. She starts having nightmares. At the same time, Reyhan is also determined to help Şükran, her best friend in the village.
