Synopsis

A chance encounter with an old friend moves a burnt-out architect to abandon his stagnant life in Istanbul and set out on a journey of self-discovery in the remote southern coast of Turkey.

Our take

A festival hit in 2018, this dark comedy from Ramin Matin offers a subtle look at today’s consumer society. Tackling the clash between urban and rural lifestyles, Siren’s Call boldly reflects on what it means to escape a place and one’s responsibilities. Starring Turkish actor Deniz Celiloğlu!
