Why we chose it

Gorgeous landscapes and classical music. The contradictory and enigmatic face of modern Turkey. The elaborate dialogues and even more poignant silences. All of the elements we’ve come to love in the films of the great Nuri Bilge Ceylan become crystallized in his most recent three-hour epic.

Synopsis

An unpublished writer returns to the village where he grew up after completing his studies. He hopes to publish his first book and is trying to decide what to do with his future, while dealing with his father's deteriorating indulgence into gambling.
