Yara is a quiet and atmospheric drama following a young woman named Yara, who shares a remote and nearly deserted valley with her elderly grandmother. Most of the valley's inhabitants have either died or emigrated, leaving behind a silence that has become a defining presence in Yara's daily life. That silence is broken when a young male stranger arrives unexpectedly, disrupting her solitary world and opening questions about connection, belonging, and what lies beyond the valley she has never left. A poetic and understated film, Yara uses its depopulated setting to reflect on rural abandonment, loneliness, and the transformative power of unexpected human encounter.
