Weighty Turkish drama, winner of the Palme d'Or (Best Film) at Cannes 2014, about an isolated actor dealing with marital breakdown. From the director of Once Upon a Time in Anatolia.
"Aydin, a former actor, runs a small hotel in central Anatolia with his young wife Nihal with whom he has a stormy relationship and his sister Necla who is suffering from her recent divorce.

"There is a stereotype associated with Cannes Film Festival Palme D’Or winners – long, glacial, art-house films filled with words not action - which isn’t much based in empirical reality. The festival first lauded the gripping The Third Man and in recent memory has lauded eventful films such as Blue is the Warmest Colour, The White Ribbon, Elephant and Pulp Fiction."
