Synopsis
For centuries the people of Kushkoy, a village in northeastern Turkey and the surrounding areas have communicated by whistling. Unfortunately this custom, a true form of language, had started to die out. This documentary shows how “Uncle” Orhan, one of the villagers, has kept this age-old tradition alive by teaching it to the local children.
