Confrontation

Hızır loses his wife Halime, who has been in intensive care for a long time. Her daughter, Hatice, learns from the nurse Evren, who had been devotedly helping her ailing mother, that he caused her mother’s death. Hatice tries to be compassionate to her father, who comes to her house. She refrains from revealing the truth to him, but after a while, she can’t keep this secret anymore and shares it with her sister, Kader. While thinking that they should tell Evren’s confession to their father, Kader thinks they should go to the police. Kader’s persistence on her sister creates an existential problem for Hatice, who is crushed under the weight of Evren’s confession. All family members have to face the truth at a family dinner.

Directed by Filiz Kuka, Confrontation leans on a strong ensemble — Asiye Dinçsoy, Okan Urun, Nilay Erdönmez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
