Bir gece vakti, İstanbul'un kenar mahallelerinden birinde, çarşaflar içinde dolaşan esrarengiz bir varlık ortaya çıkar. Kimine göre bir hortlak, kimine göre şeytanın yeryüzündeki sureti: Gulyabani.

In the blistering heat of rural Mississippi, the Bundren family loads their dead matriarch, Addie, into a handmade coffin and sets out on a bleak, often darkly comic journey to bury her in her hometown of Jefferson. Each mile of flooded rivers, broken bones, starving mules, and simmering resentments peels back another layer of this family's grief, faith, and desperation, as husband Anse and children Cash, Darl, Jewel, Dewey Dell, and Vardaman tell the story in their own, often clashing voices.

Dans l’immensité du ciel, des aviateurs s’élancent vers une idée plus grande qu’eux: la liberté. À chaque décollage, l’inconnu; à chaque retour, le prix des choix. Entre le grondement des moteurs et le silence des altitudes, ils apprennent la fraternité, affrontent la peur et découvrent ce que signifie tenir bon quand tout vacille. Un récit à la fois ample et intime, où l’adrénaline de l’envol côtoie la délicatesse des liens qui se tissent, et où l’espoir ne cesse de prendre son essor.

The subject of Kokoro, which can be translated as 'the heart of things' or as 'feeling,' is the delicate matter of the contrast between the meanings the various parties of a relationship attach to it.
