— ,Cinemas

In a quiet village in the south west of Turkey, a disenchanted art teacher wrestles with his own untapped potential, from Nuri Bilge Ceylan.

Longing to escape the isolation of his quiet Anatolian village, disenchanted art teacher Samet wrestles with narcissistic ideas of unfulfilled potential. While battling accusations of inappropriate behaviour at his school, he unexpectedly strikes up a friendship with Nuray, a charismatic fellow teacher, which offers a welcome distraction. But when her affection moves to Samet’s more affable colleague, he becomes jealous and begins to compete for her attention.

From award-winning director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, known for Winter Sleep, and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, is this beautifully shot drama about desire and jealousy.
