Mami

Turkish. Directed by Ali Kılıç.

He learned to be hard so no one else would have to be.

When his younger brother Baran is robbed of his last 20 lira, nineteen-year-old Mami takes it as a personal duty to make it right. Together they comb the gray streets of Sarigazi, Mami growing more volatile with every dead end questioning shopkeepers, chasing down strangers, a knife tucked in his belt should he need it. When he finally finds someone who might be responsible, he beats the man without mercy, only for it to become clear, in the silence that follows, that this may not have been the right man at all. Mami sends Baran home and stays out with friends, trying to shake off what just happened. But back at the apartment, a hard knock at the door brings the consequences of his actions to their doorstep and the version of himself he thought he had to become.
