Synopsis

The film tells the story of how Suphi brings together the people around him in the imaginary world he has created. Suphi's girlfriend İffet dies in an accident. Feeling responsible for the accident, Suphi loses his sanity. He begins to construct a story in his mind. In the story, İffet is first killed. The autopsy reveals that İffet was killed using one of the methods that leave no trace. His brother-in-law, Professor İsmail Sami, directs suspicion toward Suphi. Suphi begins to uncover the truth behind the events with the help of Meryem, İsmail Sami's assistant. However, as Suphi himself begins to doubt the truth, the events take a complicated turn.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
