Short description
A group of men lead a search for a victim of a murder to whom a suspect named Kenan and his mentally challenged brother confessed. However, the search is proving more difficult than expected as Kenan is fuzzy as to the body's location. As the group continues looking and the night begins dragging on, its members can't help but chat with each other about everyday life, as the conversations turn more and more serious, revealing their deeper secrets and profound stories.
What's left behind the scenes
- Ercan Kesal, who plays Mukhtar, is a doctor in a small town in Anatolia in real life. Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan based this film on Kesal's medical practice.
- The story of a woman's sudden death, told by a prosecutor played by Taner Birsel, is based on Anton Chekhov's (1860-1904) story "The Investigator" (1886).
