Synopsis

Raped by her brother-in-law, It has, in the moral code of her family and community, lost her “honour” — and by that code she must not be allowed to live. The task of the Older Brother, who arrives in Istanbul, is clear: to end her life and cleanse the family’s “honour”. Checking into a cheap hotel without giving his name, he learns where and when to strike, completes his preparations, kills her in a marketplace and returns to daily life as if nothing had happened. But when the word “honour” is heard again in the courtroom, it appears not only as the motive for the murder but as part of the language of justice itself.
