The Chairs

Synopsis

In the dark of night, a flashing stable light is answered by another, on the other side of the village.
Kerim and Rena are in love, but have had to marry other people. They meet once a week atop a hill to speak to their relatives, and are only able to express their love for one another by flashing the lights from their barns at night.
