If a woman's life could be gathered into four seasons, her true season would be the Season of the Sardine. It is the moment when even hope seems lost, when branches fall silent, when all roots appear dry, yet from the smallest crack in the earth a woman rises again.
Season of the Sardine tells the story of all women through Buket, Şoger and Sevda. In the nature of existence, one strikes like lightning, another chills like deep winter, and another blooms like spring in the heart. Love sinks from the heart into the stomach. Workers leave for distant lands. Two angels choose human form. Four generations grow up without a mother. Humi and Buket cross into the hidden realms of being.
When the Season of the Sardine arrives, a woman is no longer who she once was. She becomes everything she has endured and everything she has transformed into. Women cling to young branches. They bow before the fire. They rise like flame. They melt the frost with the sun. They slip into the hair of the world like a quiet rebellion.
Humanity begins to see that life is not long enough to hide our true feelings. Since the first stories of the earth, women have given birth to a new identity for humankind. If the Season of the Sardine had a lens, it would show the lamps that unite every root between East and West.
Souls are blessed with incense. Songs rise from the dust of death. Violins bloom from graves. Clarinets sprout from pots. The sixth season, the Season of the Sardine, stands outside all calendars and belongs only to itself.
