★★★★★ "A startlingly beautiful window into an art teacher's life" The Telegraph

From master filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Winter Sleep, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia) comes a daring tale of betrayal, accusations and desire. Longing to escape the isolation of his quiet Anatolian village, disenchanted art teacher Samet wrestles with narcissistic ideas of unfulfilled potential. While battling accusations of inappropriate behaviour at his school, he unexpectedly strikes up a friendship with Nuray, a charismatic fellow teacher, which offers a welcome distraction. But when her affection moves to Samet’s more affable colleague, his competitive instincts are awakened. Sharply written and beautifully shot, ABOUT DRY GRASSES is an engrossing new piece of cinema from a true auteur.
