A man at the wheel of a car, seen in profile over his shoulder, looking ahead through the windscreen. Black and white.

Somewhere Achromatic

2026Short film5:38

An observational journey through Ankara about alienation, belonging, and searching for what may already be here.

An experimental black-and-white short film that explores inner unrest, distance, and the search for something undefined, through the quiet tension between the external world and one's inner reality.

Stills

A man seen from behind, looking out over the rooftops of Ankara from a hilltop railing. Two men stand on a footbridge behind a chain-link fence, looking out over a road. A man driving, seen from the back seat, cigarette smoke drifting out of the open window into bright sunlight. Two silhouetted men in the front seats of a car, the windscreen washed out by daylight.
