Durak [The Fool] (2014)
Director: Yuriy Bykov
116 minutes
Russian; Turkish and English subtitles
Set in an unnamed town in Russia, the film follows the protagonist Dima’s unavailing attempt to rescue a crumbling building - and all 820 of its residents. A plumber by trade, when Dima is called to check a pipe burst, he notices a crack tearing up one side of the building. In a housing facility of unique characters, chaos, and limited means, he is at odds with the authorities as well as the unhindered inhabitants of a construction neglected for 30 years.
Taking place over a single night as Dima struggles to persuade against the most evident odds, the film touches on topics of community, morality, reliability, neglect, and reform.
Program is free and open to all. Reservations are not accepted. For further information: salt.ankara@saltonline.org
