Killing The Shadows is a bawdy comic fable set in the Ottoman Empire during the mid-14th century based on two legendary figures in Turkish folkore, the jester Hacivat (Beyazit Ozturk) and the nomad Karagoz (Haluk Bilginer), men who apparently lived and died by their sense of humour.

VIBE

A raucous, anachronistic romp through history. Expect sharp wit, irreverent humor, and a surprisingly poignant look at life and death through the eyes of legendary jesters. It's a colorful, boisterous, and utterly unique experience.
