Among these projects is Ceylan’s latest “Kuru Otlar Üzerine."
It was announced at the beginning of this year that Ceylan, who had won the Palme d'Or with her film “Kış Uykusu” (“Winter Sleep”) and shot “Ahlat Tree” (“The Wild Pear Tree”), which also competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is working on a new film.

When Samet is not appointed to Istanbul, he loses all hope of escaping from this gloomy life he is stuck in.
