It’s the 1930s. The Republic Day Ball is in progress in Zonguldak, a coal mining town in Turkey. Among the invited guests are the newcomers to this small and boring town: Halit, a mine engineer; his gorgeous wife, Mükerrem; and Halit’s sister and unwanted household member, Seniha.

Our take
A contemplative adaptation of Nahid Sırrı Örik’s classic novel, Zeki Demirkubuz’s melancholic costume drama forges an incisive character portrait to reflect on the arbitrariness of evil. Set in the early days of the Turkish Republic, Envy explores the roots of love and hatred between two siblings.
