Plot
The arrival of a solitary stranger to a remote area in the Turkish highlands slowly upsets the unspoken social structure of the local community as there is more to this man than his modest appearance might disclose at first sight As strange events begin to unfold the locals become increasingly suspicious to the outsider Operating within a cinematic fiction of its own enigmatic design A Vacation immerses us in a specific yet elusive world where the silent and misty landscapes turn into the site of an equally silent violence and repression With its evocative imagery and darkscented ambience Eroglus elliptic narrative offers an analysis of the illusion of freedom and the mechanics of repression at a time when these sort of reflections can be applied all too well to what is happening in the world around us
