SUNDAY IN ISTANBUL
In Istanbul, three women and a little girl stand before an Ottoman gate, as if gathered on the threshold of time. The dark fabrics, the old ironwork and the soft toy held tightly against the child create a scene of protection and transmission. Sunday in Istanbul captures that Sunday gentleness in which, with the city’s bustle absent, family becomes an intimate refuge.

Mother from the film LION
Mother, by Dustin O’Halloran and Hauschka, envelops the scene in tenderness. The muted piano and strings evoke protection, belonging and memory. As in Lion, the music gives the threshold symbolic depth: a place of departures and reunions, where the child moves forward, reassured by those watching over her.
