Plot

A drama directed by Tolga Karaçelik, known in English as Ivy, which won him the Golden Orange for best director in 2015. Set on a freighter stranded at sea, a crew faces boredom, tension and a sense of absurdity as they wait for months without pay. The film is a darkly comic, atmospheric portrait of a group of men under strain.

Sinekatalog’s take

Tolga Karaçelik's Ivy leaves a freighter's crew stranded at sea, where boredom turns into absurdity and menace. It won him the Golden Orange for best director, and it is a sharp, funny, claustrophobic parable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
