Node - She turned silence into color and pain into art
This award-winning documentary tells the extraordinary story of Gülseren, an illiterate peasant woman from rural Anatolia who spent much of her life in silence, marked by violence and loss.
At 45, she picks up a paintbrush for the first time. What begins as therapy becomes a journey of transformation as Gülseren defies expectations, heals old wounds, and emerges as a celebrated gallery artist. With sensitivity and power, the film is a tribute to resilience, creative awakening, and the unbreakable human spirit.
