The Name of the Song

Overview

When her grandfather Dursun refuses medical treatment, Leyla, a bass guitarist, leaves the city for his village in Anatolia, determined to bring him back with her. Dursun has no intention of going. What begins as a practical visit slowly settles into a stretch of shared time. Moving between city and countryside, rehearsals and shared meals, The Name of the Song observes two generations as their different rhythms of life gradually come to inhabit the same frame, shaped by everyday routines, stubborn disagreements, music and small acts of care.
