BETWEEN US

Cihan, Yücel and Mevlüt, who were roommates during their university years, come together in Cihan's new house after a long time. Although the theft incident that happened to Mevlüt causes the night to start badly, Kamuran's surprise involvement makes them forget what happened for a while.

As Kamuran listens to the three former roommates talk about their school days, she realizes that there are some topics they ignore and are afraid to talk about. Unable to bear the fact that everyone knows something and is silent in the false world they have built, Kamuran starts to question.

Even though they try to cover up the secrets for not spoiling their relationship, the defending person is forced to reveal someone else's secret.

The four friends experience a confrontation ceremony that lasts until the early hours of morning as they question their past and future, themselves and each other.

Director Statement

One of the biggest problems of our time is future anxiety and freedom. Cihan desires to live in a good neighborhood, wants to do the job he wants in a professional manner, get his financial earnings and to have a social life that he deserves, while Yucel has the motivation to graduate from school with the hope that he will start a job that is ready for him when he goes to his family, back in his hometown. Kamuran is focused on becoming a teacher and being appointed to fulfilling her profession, Mevlut, on the other hand, has been raised by his mother and older sister without a father figure and he lives by presenting his book essays to publishing houses with an identity that he cannot even admit to himself. While these four friends have concerns about the future and dreams in common, we see that everything is fine with their relationship dynamics; but when they find out that there are some secrets hidden, we witness that they get into conflict for
some reason or not, and their two-faced attitudes. I want to make sure that I don't take the side of any character throughout the film and that the audience approaches to the characters with the same feeling. In this story, I want to avoid clear lines and attitudes of good, bad, right or unfair feelings and open the way for the possibility of sitting down to breakfast again even after all the discussions that have taken place. I tried to create and present a world that could be from my point of view, without ignoring the fact that they would decant their masks for a while at nightfall and put them back on by daylight and continue their lives until the next conflict.
