THE TRACE

Kemal is a policeman investigating a suicide case of a man with a completely obliterated face. He becomes obsessed with the real appearance of the dead man.

An existential whodunnit story, Yeşim Ustaoğlu’s formally accomplished debut has an exceptional place in the auteur’s rich filmography. Full of mysterious characters, this Lynchian labyrinth brings together a mesmerizing performance by Aytaç Arman and evocative cinematography by Uğur İçbak.
