Synopsis

The calm night watches of Mevlüt, who is a night keeper at a container park, ends with the visit by a bus full of old tourists. Mevlüt’s repressed fears come to light as the mysterious visits starts to repeat every night.

Our take

Imbued with irony and dark humor, Murat Uğurlu’s razor-sharp portrayal of a decadent night watch turns into a sly allegory of xenophobia and ethnic tensions. With its tight scripting and exquisite deadpan delivery, this nifty short builds an uncanny black-and-white world in just 20 minutes.
