The Gulf (2017)

1h 50m 2017 Turkey

After a shattered career and a painful divorce, Selim comes back to his hometown of Izmir. With no plans for what lies ahead, he drifts through the places of his past—family, old school friends, a former lover. He crosses paths with Cihan, a fellow soldier from his service days, a charming loafer full of restless energy. As a foul stench from a strange maritime disaster drives people out of Izmir, Selim slowly finds himself pulled toward something new—a world where he might finally embrace life's possibilities again.
