7 Faces
Featuring seven different yet intertwined stories of modern life in Istanbul, 7 Faces is a thought-provoking drama centering on seven characters living in the same city apartment building. Each of them faces a major change in their lives, which requires them to confront their biggest fear or weakness.

The Funeral
Cemal drives a hearse for a living. He's entrusted with secretly carrying the body of a young girl at the request of her family. One night, he hears strange groans from the back of the truck, even though the girl hasn't got a pulse.

Love in Another Language
Onur, who has been deaf since birth, works as a librarian. His father had left him and his mother when he was seven, and Onur has always blamed himself for this. Although being able to speak, he has chosen to stay silent because of the pitying looks of the people around him. At his friend Vedat's engagement party, he meets Zeynep, who later finds out about Onur's hearing disability, but is not bothered by it. She is forced by her overbearing father to leave home and gets a job at a call-center. Having to speak on the phone all day to people she doesn't know, Zeynep finds peace with Onur, who she communicates with perfectly without speaking...

Quarantine
Describing herself as a "trouble magnet," Zeynep finds herself in the middle of chaos on her first day at her new school. An outbreak forces the school into lockdown, and that night, she stumbles upon the lifeless body of a female student in the dark hallways. She’s not alone—she’s joined by Onur Zorlu, the school principal’s son, and his friends Burak and Mert. Fearing his father’s weak heart won’t handle the news of a murder, Onur proposes they keep it a secret until the quarantine is lifted and find the killer themselves. With a disease outbreak and a murderer on the loose, the group believes their only option is to solve the mystery without alarming the parents outside. Drawn into this dangerous plan, Zeynep becomes the fourth, unexpected member of their group. Together, they embark on a perilous journey full of secrets, danger, and twists they never saw coming.

Uncle: The Story of a Man 2
A ruthless gangster dispenses justice according to his own code of honor.

Siren's Call
Welcome to the New Istanbul. A massive concrete jungle feeding on chaos and hypocrisy; it's inhabitants at the end of their tether. Tahsin is a burnt-out architect suffocated by his existence in this very city. One night, he re-encounters an old friend, Siren; a changed woman who now lives on the remote southern coast of Turkey where she works on an organic farm. Instantly enchanted, he decides to follow her down south. He packs his suitcase, bids angry farewells at work and heads for the airport. Yet, little does he know what a tragicomic odyssey awaits him.

First and Last
The ups and downs of Barış and Deniz, two very different people who meet in their mid-20s and fall in love with each other before their childhood traumas leave their traces, and a 10-year odyssey of psychological observation that is often sunny, cloudy, stormy, possible, and impossible.

The Monsters Dinner
A satiric reflection of our contemporary global society manifested in the near future, in which two seemingly ordinary couples sit down for a dinner party. The film cruelly and comically shows how our contemporary culture might transform into a world of extreme hedonism, violence and desensitization.
