Drama

In an apartment building where neighbors, friends, and family are living in close quarters, three male protagonists encounter three phases of manhood in Turkish society. Directors Reha Erdem's light touch and slyly amusing style do not miss the opportunity to illuminate some serious points in a strictly patriarchal society.

VIBE

A quiet, observant drama that gently probes the complexities of masculinity within a patriarchal society. Its wry humor and naturalistic style create an intimate, thought-provoking viewing experience.
