Yolculuk (2016) poster

The road movie centers on Mehmet, the youngest child of a conservative family. Living in a reactionary and oppressive family, Mehmet's life is shaped by the activities of the fundamentalist circle he belongs to. Mehmet's feelings for Firdevs, who works at the pharmacy next door, add to the contradictions he faces as he begins to live according to the hypocritical and oppressive values of this environment, and the conflict takes on a different dimension. What follows is Mehmet's struggle for "humanity" as he is unable to chart a course for his life in line with his beliefs and tries to resolve his contradictions through different pursuits. Mehmet's story reveals how the network that today confronts us worldwide as "jihadist terrorism" was organized right under our noses. It undertakes to explain how this terrorist machine was nourished by a reactionary network and the irreconcilable contradiction between this network and "humanity."
