Synopsis

Our take

Serdar Akar’s gripping neo-noir masterfully exposes the grim realities of societal decay, portraying a harrowing journey through human depravity. Its claustrophobic maritime setting intensifies a narrative of moral disintegration, serving as an uncompromising allegory for Turkey’s corroded state.
