One of Those Days When Hemme Dies

Southeast Asian Premiere

Murat Fıratoğlu Türkiye 2024 82 min PG13 (Some Coarse Language)

A worker’s simmering desire for revenge against his harsh supervisor is waylaid as encounters steer him towards a path of introspection.

Eyüp toils under the relentless sun on a tomato farm in southeastern Turkey. His wants are simple: fair wages and his dignity. Yet, like many others, Eyüp is burdened by unpaid wages and the unyielding demands of his supervisor, Hemme. After a heated confrontation, Eyüp, consumed by anger and a thirst for revenge, sets out to teach Hemme a lesson. However, as he wanders through the day, becoming an unwilling flâneur, chance encounters and conversations divert him from his goal, gradually eroding his resolve.

As daylight diminishes, so does Eyüp’s anger. In the stillness of dusk, the tensions of social justice and pride ease into a fragile pause, his inaction quietly settling alongside the approaching night, without resolution.
