His first feature since Honey, which won Berlin Golden Bear in 2010, this is a bold departure from the intimate tales of contemporary Turkey for which director Semih Kaplanoğlu’s is best known. In an undefined near future, Professor Erol Erin lives in a community protected from multi-ethnic immigrants by magnetic walls. For unknown reasons, the community’s farms have been devastated by a genetic crisis. Erol learns about Cemil Akman, a fellow geneticist who wrote a thesis about the looming crisis affecting genetically modified seeds, and sets out on a journey beyond the wall to find him, a journey that will change everything Erol knew. Inspired by a chapter from the Quran and shot in the United States, Germany and Turkey, this philosophical sci-fi tells a post-apocalyptic story set in a world where those that survived are divided between the remnants of cities ruled by corporations and populated by elites and the areas called Dead Lands where genetically incompatible immigrants suffer from drought and epidemics.
