Turkish auteur Ceylan ambitiously branches out into film noir territory with this superbly crafted, contemplative and elliptical yarn. Unfolding over a sweltering, energy-sapping summer in a claustrophobic family flat, driver father Eyup (Bingol), his wife Hacer (Aslan), and their teenage son Ismael (Sungar) become embroiled in a web of deceit, guilt, and ultimately murder.
