Thou Gild’st The Even

“Man is created of anxiety.” –Euripides. Life ambles on in a small Anatolian town: Cemal is a linesman in local football matches, Yasemin works in a farm, Defne sells books from her stall in town, Doctor İrfan is busy with his patients... This is a town of two suns and three full moons. Cemal, who can see through walls, despairs of life when troubles overtake him. In his effort to deal with it all, he looks for an answer in Yasemin, who can move entire objects with the touch of her fingertips. But Defne, who can stop time, is destined to muddle things up before long. The invisible primary school teacher, meanwhile, is trying to ease Cemal’s concerns. But then Yasemin’s immortal boss does a bunch of things that undermine the teacher’s advice. Thou Gild’st the Even is a black & white movie about the ordinary sorrows, worries and troubles of townsfolk with extraordinary abilities.
