In the North-Macedonian village of Kanatlar, Ayten and Erduan raise their children, balancing the 800-year-old Bektashi Sufi teachings with the struggles of modern life. In this tobacco-growing valley, a Turkish Muslim community devoted to faith, family, and tradition allows gender equality to quietly flourish, rooted in the belief that all beings are equal.
