On the Count of Zero

Aslı is a senior at the Fine Arts Faculty, majoring in painting. She borrows an antique, original book from a professor she greatly admires. That day, she loses her bag, which contains the book. However, she cannot remember where or how she lost her bag. Her closest friend, Nevin, a senior at the Faculty of Medicine, takes Aslı, who is becoming increasingly depressed as she tries to remember how she lost the book, to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrist Dr. Melih is a scientist with strict scientific ideas. As soon as he sees Aslı, he makes his diagnosis: Dissociative Amnesia. And he wants to apply the treatment that best responds to this diagnosis. Hypnosis... Aslı initially hesitates but eventually agrees to undergo hypnosis.

Directed by Gökhan Yorgancigil, On the Count of Zero leans on a strong ensemble — Oktay Kaynarca, Hazım Körmükçü, Görkem Yeltan — 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 2007.
