Synopsis

The film is the story of Zehra and Olgun whose lives are caught in a vacuum. The world in which they live and work is a place of throwaway culture and constant change. They too are waiting for a chance to change and escape from their empty, monotonous lives.

Flavisms's rating of the film Araf – Somewhere In Between
Flavisms

The film's power lies in its beauty. Like a Hemingway story, the landscapes are washed over by gripping symbolism. The contemplative and slow-paced first half however, clashes with a dramatised second half. The film falls short at the intersection of where it succeeds: it becomes "about" a social issue that it precisely tries to escape.
