Basri, walks every day for miles along the tracks working as a railroad watchman. His only thought is finding his missing son. 18 years ago, while the boy was at the university in Istanbul, the police took him into custody for anti-government activities. Then, he mysteriously disappeared.

Starring Ercan Kesal (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia), Mold is a noir-like journey into social oppressions experienced in modern Turkey. With the requisite oppressive atmosphere to match, Ali Aydın’s debut film moves with dour yet beguiling rhythms towards a nuanced critique of a troubled society.
