Bartosz Szydłowski reads Orhan Pamuk's great novel through fundamentalisms swelling in the modern world, ideological wars leading directly to bloodshed, and finally an oppressive religious order leading to the exclusion and elimination of those who do not want to adapt. Poet Ka returns after several years in the West, to his hometown of Kars. Officially – due to his mother's funeral. Unofficially – because he is engrossed in a series of suicides of young girls, so he starts an informal investigation. A snowstorm cuts the city off from the outside world. The revolution is about to begin...
From an in-depth reading of the novel by the Turkish Nobel Prize winner, but also from the director's previous experience (especially the performance “Conformist 2029”, a powerful but unhurried stage production is born, saturated with subconscious anxiety, a feeling of doom, and melancholy.
