Without Aban

2021 · 83 min

A quiet, heavy descent into suspicion and confession, where a man's word collapses against a landscape that has erased the past.

Overview
Aban is a ranger with a wedding scheduled for a month from now. While chasing wood smugglers, he finds the corpse of a little girl on the road. Everyone suspects him of being responsible for this death, but Aban denies it. Even so, he admits to killing a girl 15 years ago in a similar situation, burying the body in secret. The police ask for evidence or documents, but he has nothing to present—and the place where he allegedly buried the girl has turned into a highway.
