Story

Four people are fatefully interconnected. A man, his wife, their son and the man’s boss. The family is aware of a truth that, once articulated, will shatter them forever. Living a lie, they resemble the three legendary monkeys who see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. But will it suffice to live in denial of the truth? Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s drama about guilt, atonement, consequence and the poisonous power of secrets was awarded the directing prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
