During a night watch in the suburbs of Istanbul, five policemen are trapped in the rubble of an old building in ruins and have to face a sect lead by a disturbing guru.

For his first feature film, Turkish filmmaker Can Evrenol adapts one of his multi-awarded and very well-received short-film (in competition last year at the festival). The film was shot in only 28 nights and organized like a childish labyrinthine nightmare that quotes William Golding's Lord of the Flies just as much as Nicolas Winding Refn's movie Only God Forgives, or John Carpenter's 80s movies. Just like It Follows, discovered last year, one of the amazing finds of this year's edition and the birth of a director to watch out for.
