Kuduz

2026 · 25 min

A quiet, heavy watch that sits with you, full of unspoken tension and the slow fracture of a family.

Overview: In a village in rural Turkey, young Murat discovers the family dog has rabies and sets it loose rather than let his father put it down. His act of mercy turns father against son, and a household held together by silence begins to come apart.
How it feels: Bleak, tense, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Family, isolation, guilt, coming-of-age
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
