BEAUTIFUL VILLAGER 117

Cinemavixion Review

"Beautiful Villager 117" delves into the poignant journey of Gul, a young woman grappling with profound depression and the aftermath of a separation from her lover, Kaan. Seeking solace from the bustling life of Istanbul, she retreats to the tranquil village of Muğla, known as Güzelköy. There, she finds an unexpected connection with Sultan Ana, an elderly woman who mistakes her for her granddaughter. As Gul's sisters join her, they all settle in with Sultan Ana, creating a makeshift family. The narrative takes a turn when Kaan, Gul's ex-fiancé, reappears in the village, yet Gul's heart has found a new focus in Cemal, a local resident. This film beautifully contrasts Gul's urban upbringing with the simple, yet emotionally charged, life unfolding in the village, charting her pursuit of a new love and a different path.
