Geçmişimin Donuk Kiraz Çiçekleri (Frozen Cherry Blossoms from My Past) tells the simple yet emotional tale of a Japanese family after the atomic bomb hits Hiroshima. A grown son narrates, through a flashback, how his pregnant mother lost her life giving birth to his sister during World War II and reveals a family secret that has been kept from the daughter since her birth.
