Hayaletler
Ghosts
In Istanbul, a day on the verge of a country-wide power surge unfolds
with four characters – a mother whose son is in prison, a young woman committed to dancing, a female activist-artist and a
cunning middle man – all in a neighbourhood undergoing a process of gentrification for the “New Turkey”. Their stories intertwine
along the day up until a drug deal incident, offering a roaring tale of the contemporary generation. Flashing back and forth
in time, often replaying scenes from a different perspective, this engaging puzzle outlines a series of vast contrasts and
contradictions – a portrait of a society plunged into darkness. (Venice International Film Festival)
