Ara is the story of four people who love and cheat each other at the same time. They hurt each other but can’t break up; they are caught between the past and their stormy relationships, between Istanbul and the ‘homes’ they can’t get back, between their lies and innermost secrets.
In Ümit Ünal’s Ara, the cinematic echo of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal becomes irresistibly palpable. With chamber-like precision, Ünal meticulously dissects the intricate web of relationships, revealing the profound challenges and fragility of enduring love amidst middle-class confines.
