Returning home after a long time for his father's funeral, Can witnesses an unexpected murder. After the incident, he cannot leave the town and finds himself pulled into a strange and uncanny vortex. He is terrified as he confronts the unidentified crime he has been accused of. Moreover, a curfew has been declared across the country. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Pirselimoğlu, the film turns into a dark and absurd thriller with its Kafkaesque narrative. Art director Natali Yeres, with whom Pirselimoğlu has collaborated throughout his career, creates a purgatorial and timeless town, once again presenting an allegory of Türkiye. Kerr was Türkiye’s submission for the “Best International Film” award at the 95th Academy Awards.
