Murat Mahmutyazıcıoğlu

A short while after his dominant wife abandons the wimpy and meek Hayati, who is a literary teacher in a patriarchal town, the police find an unrecognized female corpse by the lake. Hayati wants to state that the body belongs to his wife and to take the blame for the murder that someone else committed.

Catalyzed by a chance encounter, Can Eskinazi’s short then sinks into the pleasures of meandering conversation. Immersed in a nocturnal palette of inky blacks and luminous whites, this road movie in miniature follows its drunken characters walking, talking, and looking toward wide-open skies.

A student house, two women, a man, an intimate friendship, two scores, a dinner party, love, crowded streets, endless hopes, small cries crushed under the great noise of the city.
