About Those Who Whistle After Dark (Karanlıkta Islık Çalanlar)
Toprak, an unemployed aspiring writer with a video-game addiction, dreams of escaping an increasingly uncertain future in Türkiye. Determined to leave for the United States, he begins plotting an unlikely escape. Meanwhile, Melih searches for meaning in his life, and Suzan secretly tries to find her own way out.
As their plans unravel, the three find themselves haunted by the ghosts of their past — quite literally.
