Filmmaker İlker Çatak uses everything in the mise en scène to tell an arresting tale on morality, traversing over some complex social questions and the fragility of the institutional structures that are in place to stand for what’s considered “right”.
The Hindu
In school, as in life, one cannot simply close a door, keep out the bad stuff, and solve everything.
The Independent
Few movies have more precisely recognized the fallacy of labeling schools as “safe spaces” in a world that’s turned them into ideological war zones. The kids are worth fighting for, but that fight is seldom any fairer on campus than it is beyond its borders.
