Everything About Mustafa

2004 · 119 min

A slow, unsettling interrogation of a life that may never have been what it seemed, pulling you into buried memories and quiet dread.

Tagline: In fact, nothing is as it seems.
Overview: A man is forced to confront his past after he loses everything in an accident. Mustafa is a successful business man living a seemingly great life with his family when an accident takes it all away from him and leaves him with many questions and a cab driver, Fikret, who can answer it all. Mustafa is due to get a lot more than what he bargained for, however, as his interrogations take him to long-forgotten childhood memories and force him to see his formerly perfect life from a very different perspective.
