When a burned Quran is found on a film set, the shoot takes a dark turn and the crew are thrown into turmoil. Caught in the crossfire, an intern, Elif, is drawn into a dangerous game of secrets, accusations and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s ambiguous, provocative conspiracy thriller plays with the film-within-a-film motif and is rich in unexpected twists. A piercing reflection on the power of images and the dynamics of perception, projection and societal hysteria.
During the filming of a feature film about the arson attacks carried out by right-wing extremists in Solingen, a Koran is burned—for artistic purposes. The event causes more than just shock among the extras from the nearby migrant hostel; emotions run high on several sides, and are primarily taken out on intern Elif.
