In the course of a day in Istanbul, five individuals cross paths and change each others' lives in unexpected ways.
Damat Koğuşu Damat Koğuşu (2017) Character: Hüseyin İçli
Groom's Block is slang in Turkey for prison sections holding those accused of serious sex crimes. The film's story and characters are drawn from everyday life. In the Groom's Block, the guards and prison governor manipulate tensions, as prisoners push each other to the edge of existence. We experience the tension and paradox of a violent prison and justice systems reflecting the shifting moral norms and structure of Turkish society. The jailed and jailers enforce violent justice daily, expressing in their lives a society confronted with its need to hide from itself, in desperate denial of its cruel contradictions.
Eksik Eksik (2015) Character: Deniz / Türker
Thirty years after the 1980 coup, the paths of a family whose lives were shattered cross again. Deniz and Devrim, two siblings who never knew each other and were forced to grow up separately, reunite with their mother, Melek. Each of them harbors anger and longing that they have kept hidden for years. The three will revisit the past, confront each other for the first time in their lives, and try to piece the broken pieces back together.
Köpek Köpek (2015) Character: Mustafa
An ordinary day in the megacity of Istanbul: Ten-year-old Cemo sells paper tissues in the streets, Hayat is controlled by her husband and transsexual Ebru sells her body. All three have a secret love and they do everything that satisfies their longing, if only for a moment. An authentic, delicate and unsettling story about love and death and the Turkish society at the beginning of the 21st century.
Ballad of Exiles: Yılmaz Güney Ballad of Exiles: Yılmaz Güney (2016) Character: Yılmaz Güney (Reenactment)
Having spent ten years of his life in prisons, Güney escaped from Isparta Semi-Open Prison in 1981 and went to Paris, where he would spend the last years of his life. The recognition Güney received as a filmmaker in France brought him the Palme D'or at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival for his film "The Road." The documentary builds a bridge between France and Turkey through Yılmaz Güney, tracing his footsteps in Paris, the filming process of "The Wall," the lives he influenced through his political struggle and cinema, and the stories of those who were forced to leave their country after September 12th, who came to France as immigrants, his friends and colleagues, and the life stories of exiled people whose paths somehow intersected with his during this journey.
