(Mustafa hakkinda hersey)
Çagan Irmak / TUR, 2004
Turkish version / English Subtitles / translated to Czech, 119 min

Life is great for Mustafa: he has a good job, a great wife and a lovely child. He thinks it’s all going to last forever but then a car accident happens and everything is turned upside down. His anger and frustration grow because there was someone in the car who can answer many questions: the cab driver Fikret. Mustafa begins to spy on him but things spiral out of control and eventually Mustafa must face his long-forgotten childhood memories and see his formerly perfect life from a very different perspective. Why does it feel like everybody is lying to him?
