In eastern Anatolia, an insecure teacher longing to escape its extreme climate and politics is drawn into an absorbing web of accusations, desire and shame.
Art teacher Samet believes his potential is limited by his compulsory placement in a conservative school of a remote village. He dreams of transferring to Istanbul, where he could supposedly be liberated to become his best self. While wrestling with his existential crisis, he battles accusations of inappropriate behaviour by a student. Meanwhile, charismatic activist and teacher Nuray may be the much-needed wakeup call to his solipsism.
About Dry Grasses is a novelistic voyage into the expansiveness of the human condition. The film unfolds in a series of panoramic reveries and conversations that are as much about the misuse of power as it is about the unbearable awareness of not living up to one’s ideals.
