A Hero of Our Time
Watch TrailerQuietly selfish, full of grandiose dreams, and fundamentally cold and insensitive toward those around him, Mert is an immature man in his early-30s who resides in a middle-class neighborhood in Istanbul. When he has to deal with his father's funeral preparations in a small town surrounded by tea plantations in the hills of northeastern Turkey, he finds himself trapped in the discrepancy between the world he has selfishly dreamed of and the world in which he actually lives. During the three days in the town, as he ignores every problem that he encounters, he can’t really help facing painful, tragic, and tragicomic experiences which lead him to go through inevitable moments of an instant and intense growing-up story while he discovers that the already existing cracks in his life are growing wider and deeper by the hour.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a subtle character study, relying on the contrast between urban alienation and the claustrophobia of a small community. It explores the protagonist's inner void through his helplessness in the face of ritual and duty.
What lingers after viewing is a bittersweet aftertaste of confronting uncomfortable truths about family and maturity. The awkward comedy slowly gives way to a poignant realization of life's inescapable cracks. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Miraç Atabey

With a strong cup of tea, in quiet contemplation, allowing yourself to sink into the deliberate pace of provincial life.
