Beyond The Hill - Πέρα από τον λόφο
Its a summers day and retired forester Faik is receiving visitors at his country house. His son Nusret has arrive to visit with Faiks two grandsons Caner and Zafer. Despite the summer setting however, the mood remains oddly muted. Faik is having problems with the local nomads and is constantly on his protect, while Zafer has been suffering mental problems since his military service. This little group is completed by the family of Mehmet and Meryem and brings together different temperaments and social classes. But conflicts are avoided: its all someone elses fault, that of the nomads, who remain an invisible foe.
The parable-like nature of the film is due in no small part to the magnificent Western landscape in which it was shot. The horizon is constantly hemmed in by walls of rock, the range of movement is restricted and the air is thick with menace. This all allows the film to cleverly play with projections and hallucinations. The idea of sloughing off ones dark side and externalising it in the Other beyond the hill might serve to bring a group together, whether along family or national lines. Yet this will not prevent drama, acting if all to encourage it.

Καλοκαίρι κι ο συνταξιοδοτημένος δασοφύλακας Φαΐκ δέχεται επισκέψεις στο εξοχικό του σπίτι. Έχει έρθει ο γιος του, Νουσρέτ, μαζί με τα δύο εγγόνια του, Κανέρ και Ζαφέρ. Η ατμόσφαιρα, όμως, είναι σιωπηλή, παρά το πρόσχαρο τοπίο. Ο Φαΐκ έχει προβλήματα με τους γειτονικούς νομάδες και φυλάει συνεχώς σκοπιά. Στην ίδια παρέα είναι και η οικογένεια του Μεχμέτ και της Μεριέμ, άνθρωποι από διαφορετική τάξη. Αυτό, όμως, δεν φέρνει αντιπαράθεση, πόσο μάλλον όταν η τεταμένη ατμόσφαιρα οφείλεται σε άλλους που δεν βρίσκονται εκεί.
