Thou Gild'st the Even

Film · 2013 · Dram / Fantastik / RomantikIMDbCemal lives in Akhisar, Manisa with his father and works as a barber - a man who keeps to himself. While living with an indescribable unease inside, he begins searching for meaning when Yasemin enters his life. But this town is no ordinary place. Most of its residents possess supernatural abilities. Some can stop time. Some can see through walls. Some are immortal. Despite all these 'superpowers,' the characters actually struggle with the same emotional problems ordinary people face. The film explores humanity's existential anxieties and the quest to discover love within this absurd and fantastical atmosphere.
