Sinekatalog’s take
Two escaped patients from a hospital get lost in the snow and bluff their way through a small town. A satirical comedy of authority and absurdity, it is a standout of sharp Turkish social humor and a good find for adventurous fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
