Our take

Ali Kemal Çınar’s sardonic hero takes an ingeniously funny look at the centuries-long disputes between Kurdish and Turkish people through the notion of the mother tongue. With shades of Elia Suleiman and Aki Kaurismäki, this deadpan satire portrays a man trapped between two conflicting identities.
