Erden Kıral : 2014
Night

The story of a family forced to move to the western city of İzmir upon the evacuation of their home village. Unable to adapt to their new circumstances, the father abandons the family while the elder brother Zahit ceases to care, and the family of five disintegrates. The elder sister Süsen is the most affected of all. Marrying her childhood love Yusuf, Süsen also loses her hopes of building a stable family when the burden of life gets heavier and Yusuf's personality falters. As their love subsides and they grow hopeless, they still stand together, unable to break up. Taking the western coastal city of İzmir as background, this poignant romance is a psychological drama painting a portrait of embittered people anchored to their past, struggling to stay innocently beautiful. Erden Kıral's feature screened at İstanbul Film Festival 2015.
