Overview

In 1978, five leftist youths who believed that the leftist revolution could be realized through politics, not violence, gathered in a house and started to talk about the magazine they had published. The unexpected events that take place later that night reveal the political chaos in Turkey before the 1980 coup d'état.

Review

It is a new film by Burak Çevik, a Berlinale regular. It follows Turkey's tragic political massacre in 1978. The film begins with a heated discussion among five young leftists who believe in the socialist revolution. They have a simple birthday party. In the middle of the night, while one of them goes out to get some cigarettes, two far-right men raid their meeting and slay them. Director Burak Çevik spent two years to learn about the political situation in Turkey before the 1980 coup. Through this work, he addresses a fundamental question as to whether we can justify taking others' lives because of ideologies and beliefs. The long-take scenes showing the two far-rightists raiding the leftists' hideout, a close-up of a newscaster's face while he is reporting, and the flag-hoisting ceremony and national anthem at the end of the news program are all impressive scenes, reminding us of our past.
