[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

When a bur­ned Quran is found on a film set, the shoot takes a dark turn and the crew are thrown into turm­oil. Caught in the cross­fi­re, an intern, Elif, is drawn into a dan­ge­rous game of secrets, accu­sa­ti­ons and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s ambi­guous, pro­vo­ca­ti­ve con­spi­ra­cy thril­ler plays with the film-within-a-film motif and is rich in unex­pec­ted twists. A pier­cing reflec­tion on the power of images and the dyna­mics of per­cep­ti­on, pro­jec­tion and socie­tal hysteria.
