Synopsis

On a Saturday night in Istanbul, despite the pleas of his fiancée, cynical Alper refuses to join the anti-government protests happening on his doorstep. He just wants to stay home for his weekly dose of poker, played with his regular crew of high-school friends…

MUBI's take

This enthralling chamber piece tells the story of the Gezi Park protests that shook Istanbul in 2013, from the viewpoint of a self-absorbed man who is judgemental about everyone yet reluctant to act to make a difference. A political comedy that captures the zeitgeist of contemporary Turkey.
