It’s been years since Akın has been in and out of the hospital. He’s relentless, angry, and shell-shocked from being stuck in the system. Since his discharge, he’s well aware that his old life is long gone. He has become unable to leave his family house except for occasional visits to religious monuments in Istanbul. During those visits, he falls into a state of ecstasy as he tries to take refuge in God. These divine structures trigger something in him. As he loses touch with his true self, his mind shifts into another reality.

“Spectacularly atmospheric horror.”
“A film that may be about the outer reaches
of imagination, where cinema is created.”
The Film Verdict

“Offers a visceral and sensorial exploration that
invites reflection on the nature of reality and the constructs of sanity.”

“Places a strong emphasis on urban architecture,
capturing it with a hypnotic poeticism.”
Cineuropa

“DP Peter Zeitlinger (responsible for several late period
Werner Herzog films), drifts with such gradual elation
we’re left eternally waiting for something nasty to pop up.

The ambience instilled in the production of the film is quite superb.”
IonCinema

“An ambient and darkly poetic film”
“A testament to Keltek’s singular vision and well worth
a watch for those who like their cinema contemplative.”
