A self-involved couple initiates an elaborate ruse to alter the facts about how they came to have a family in this shrewd and visually accomplished social satire from Turkish filmmaker Mehmet Can Mertoglu.
In this shrewd and visually accomplished social satire from Turkish filmmaker Mehmet Can Mertoglu, a taxman named Bahar (Şebnem Bozoklu) and his history teacher wife, Cüneyt (Murat Kiliç), adopt a child, only to find they feel no emotional connection to the kid.
