Burning Days

Emre, a young and dedicated prosecutor, is newly appointed to a small town hit by a water crisis and political scandals.

After an initial welcome, he experiences an increasing number of tense interactions and is reluctantly dragged into local politics.

When Emre forms a bond with the owner of the local newspaper pressure escalates under heated rumors.

A Turkish thriller that works at once as a highly-charged suspenser, a savvy piece of tightly-enclosed world-building and a sharp critique of machismo, populism and their very tangible dangers.
