Ahmet Boyacıoğlu

22 mai 1963. Insatisfait de la situation sociale et politique en Turquie, un groupe d'officiers militaires a planifié un coup d'État pour renverser le gouvernement à Ankara. Pendant ce temps à Istanbul, les conspirateurs ont entrepris la mission vitale de prendre le contrôle de la radio nationale et de faire une annonce officielle sur le coup d’État. Mais rien ne se passe comme prévu. Confrontés à de nombreux obstacles, notamment une soudaine tempête, l’absence de technicien à la radio, une trahison, l’absence de retour d’Ankara et leur propre insuffisance, les conspirateurs se bousculent pour tenir leur plan et annoncer le succès du coup d'État dans la capitale.

A painter with a turbulent history, fiercely committed to his ideals and still averse to settling down despite his 70 years; a lawyer who packed in his job after suffering a heart attack and now pursues a quiet life looking after his pet snail; a doctor already disenchanted with his profession and now discarded by his wife; a career woman braving life on her own, who has made loneliness a life style. These characters are all patrons of Black & White, an Ankara bar that has been around for 25 years, and in a sense the bar is their last haven. The owner, meanwhile, is the irritable, easily offended but utterly lovable Faruk... Black & White is a film about the awareness of growing old, friendship, sensitivity and the finer details of life.

Basri, 55 year old, every day walks for miles along the tracks working as a railroad watchman. His nagging thought is finding his son. Eighteen years ago, while the boy was studying at the university in Istanbul, the police took him into custody for antigovernment activities. Then, he mysteriously disappeared.
