Onur Tükel’s latest film The Misogynists, a social critique portraying the country’s current state, takes place in a hotel room during the screening of the last presidential election results in the United States. Trump-supporting, lonely businessman Cameron, whose marriage of 35 years has just ended, is accompanied by a variety of people with different political viewpoints. Just as it feels like the testosterone level in the room cannot get any higher, the night becomes even more complicated when two reckless prostitutes living their own existential crises enter the room. Tükel’s recent film is presented as part of this program only one day after its worldwide premier.
