An architect, feeling colorless in a gray world, escapes to the realm of birds, discovering the story of the last Siberian crane. A male and female crane start their migration, but the female is killed by a hunter. Mourning alone, the male crane faces his solitude and leaves. Bird watchers speculate he’s died when he doesn’t return the next year, but he reappears after two years, calling out in hope. Every year, he returns to the same spot, calling to the sky. Finally, one night, his lost wife answers his call from the stars.

Born in Turkey, Didar studied Architecture and completed a master’s degree in Game Design. While working on a construction site, she decided to change her way of life and left the whole gray world behind to start writing screenplays and making animated films. Omid is the first film of this journey.
