In the rural area around the Anatolian town of Keskin, the local prosecutor, police commissar and doctor set out in search of a dead body. Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan fills this chilly night-time odyssey with references to the gulf between the citizens of sophisticated urban Turkey and the people who live in the desolate Anatolian Steppes. Largely filmed at night, this is a mysterious, darkly amusing and challenging film.
