27th Black Nights Film Festival
Criminal lawyer Canan divides her time between mornings in court and evenings by her mother’s hospital bed. On the day of the sentencing hearing of a murder suspect whom Canan is defending, she must make a moral choice that will affect the lives of her mother, the judge, and the defendant.
In his second feature film, Turkish director Selman Nacar deals with profound questions about morality and justice. An exceptionally tense courtroom drama!
“The film covers less than 24 hours, forms around a hearing, and focuses on Canan’s moral preferences, which influence her personal and professional life. Even though I preferred to shoot the film from Canan’s subjective perspective, my focus is not on the outcome of her choices but on the consequences of her trial.” – Director's Note
