Life is good for Derya and Aziz, a celebrated artist couple from Turkey, until an incident at their play’s premiere. Suddenly targeted by the state and struggling to balance their ideals with life’s necessities, their marriage is pushed to a breaking point.

The new film from Ilker Catak (The Teachers' Lounge, 2023 Haifa IFF), winner of the Golden Bear Award at Berlinale, is “both a gripping marital drama and a rallying cry against artist censorship” (IndieWire).

Filmography: The Teachers' Lounge (2023), Stambul Garden (2021), I Was, I Am, I Will Be (2019).
