THREE MONKEYS / ÜÇ MAYMUN

Servet (Ercan Kesal) is a middle-aged politician who accidentally kills a pedestrian in his car, at night, on a remote country road. Panicking and fearing scandal with an election imminent, he flees the scene and later desperately persuades his long-standing driver Eyüp (Yavuz Bingol) to take the rap. Servet promises to keep paying his salary into his bank account while he endures the short spell in prison and to pay a lump sum in cash on release. Deeply troubled, but utterly dependent on his employer's goodwill, Eyüp agrees, and the swallowed humiliation of this shabby deal worsens the already troubled family environment he leaves behind.
