IMDb

The DVD of the film is available in our Bookshop. (List of available DVDs in Slovene only)

A subtle study into the complexities of human nature, taking inspiration from the short stories by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Winner of the 2014 Palme d’Or Award at Cannes.

Aydin, a former actor, runs a small hotel in central Anatolia with his young wife Nihal with whom he has a stormy relationship and his sister Necla who is suffering from her recent divorce. In winter, as the snow begins to fall, the hotel turns into a shelter but also an inescapable place that fuels their animosities.

»The problem with Hollywood is the audience expects to get the answers like a pill. They expect to know not just whodunit, but the motives of the characters, the how and why. Real life is not like that. Even our closest friend – we don't know what he really thinks. In films we want more than in real life, everything being made clear. That means this kind of cinema is a lie. I cannot make cinema that way.«
- Nuri Bilge Ceylan
