Zugzwang

Selim and Muazzez are a happily married couple who infuse every moment of their lives with joy by turning situations into games and competitions without ever compromising their love and respect for each other.

During their months-long period of ambiguous separation, Selim discovers his kidneys have failed.

Reasons and Roads

Two men with very different lives and stories cross paths to smuggle hookah tobacco into Turkey via Georgia. Tahir, who has been doing this job for a long time, has realized that he will not get anywhere with small jobs and is looking for big things. Ömer, who will be smuggling for the first time, plans to do it permanently if no problems arise. Of course, these things are not so easy.
