The latest drama from celebrated Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan is a work of elegant, novelistic filmmaking, rigorously unpacking questions of belief versus action, the tangible versus the enigmatic, and who we wish to be versus how we live. Samet (Deniz Celiloglu), an elementary school teacher working in rural eastern Anatolia, hopes to move to his native Istanbul after being accused of harassing a student. A fellow teacher (Merve Dizdar, Best Actress winner at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival) offers Samet a new perspective on life.
