Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Büyükada is Istanbul's largest Princes' Island, historically a place of exile—Leon Trotsky was banished there. The film weaponizes this legacy of isolation.
vonbraque reportedly shot this in a single afternoon with no crew, just Koç and a camera. The rawness is the point.
