A Useful Ghost: A New Modern Classic
The classic ghosts-in-revenge story expanded into an extensive dig into the historical social system while being funny and horny.
The World Isn't The Way You Know It
In an old neighborhood of Istanbul that is on the verge of losing its genteel character, Meliha, a woman living alone, carries on with her life without leaving her home, finding pleasure in small everyday routines. One day, she gives her bank card and PIN to a stranger who brings her scarf back after it falls from her balcony, asking him to withdraw some money for a bowl of soup. But Meliha’s naive trust turns into a major crisis for her family. As they question their mother’s memory, their own distrust of one another gradually comes to the surface. “The World Isn’t the Way You Know It” takes a darkly comic approach to exploring how trust is shaped by class prejudice and roles within the family.
