Winter Sleep

Set against the stunning backdrop of Cappadocia, this film delves into the life of Aydin, a retired actor who runs a small hotel with his young wife and sister. As winter sets in, the isolation of the snow-covered landscape mirrors the emotional distance between the characters, leading to introspective confrontations and revelations. Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the film won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The narrative is rich with philosophical dialogues and explores themes of power, ego, and human frailty. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
