German-Kurdish filmmaker Ayse Polat spins a suspenseful tale about paranoia and trauma with this hard-hitting thriller. A German film crew arrives in northeastern Turkey to meet a Kurdish woman whose son was abducted over 20 years ago. The film crew finds themselves in danger when someone in their entourage goes missing and they attract the attention of the secret police. Told in a Rashomon-esque multi-perspective structure, the riveting thriller slowly peels back its multiple layers and reveals the consequences of burying intergenerational trauma in the blind spot.
