Synopsis

The curious (hi)story of Abdullah, who has spent 47 years of his life as a patient in “Motherland” Hospital until his death.

MUBI's take

Toying with documentary conventions, Hakkı Kurtuluş and Melik Saraçoğlu stage inventive critiques of institutions and moral codes. Equipped with a sardonic voice-over, this deceptively simple portrait of an unfortunate man turns into a multilayered analysis of humanity’s turbulent journey.
