“Metruk Adam” trailer released
“Metruk Adam” centers on the story of Baran, who struggles to regain his grip on life after years of imprisonment. The film is directed by Çağrı Vila Lostuvalı, with the screenplay written by Deniz Madanoğlu and Murat Uyurkulak. The cast includes Ada Erma, Rahim Can Kapkap, and Ercan Kesal, along with Mert Ramazan Demir.
Shiftdelete.netAccording to Netflix’s promotional material, the film begins with Baran admitting a crime framed by his family. Having served his sentence for the crime committed by his brother, Baran seeks to rebuild his life after years in prison.
Baran, who sets out with the dream of opening a repair shop, encounters an accident in his family and his niece, Lidya, whom he hasn’t seen in years. Lidya’s arrival becomes a turning point, allowing Baran to both confront his past and reconcile with himself.
The film tells the story of individual traumas, family conflicts, and forgiveness. The trailer is notable for its low-key atmosphere and character-driven narrative. Initial impressions suggest that “Metruk Adam” offers a more dramatic and personal narrative than recent Netflix Turkey hits, such as “Istanbul Encyclopedia” and “Letters to the Future.”
“Metruk Adam” will be released globally on Netflix on August 22nd. The film stands out as a new experiment that continues the dramatic streak of Netflix’s domestic productions and prioritizes character depth.
