Haze

2010 · 109 min

A quiet, withdrawn character study that slowly tightens into unease, asking patience as it drifts through muted urban alienation.

Overview
Reşat, a withdrawn and asocial young man who works at a pirate DVD shop, represses his feelings for the girl next door, and adds excitement to his life with petty theft. The film turns into a thriller when the shadowy Celal, a friend of Reşat's boss, gets shot just after he leaves a package in the shop and Reşat has to make sense of the photo and the gun it contains.
