Dil Leyla

Leyla Imret is the mayor of the small town of Cizre, the heart of Kurdish resistance in Turkey. At just twenty-six, she is the youngest mayor in the country. What’s even more remarkable is that she hadn’t been back to her village since the age of five, when her father, a Kurdish guerilla fighter, was killed and she went to Germany to live with her aunt. When she returns home, her goal is to beautify the civil-war-torn city. But on the eve of Turkey’s parliamentary elections, everything changes.
