Yellow Letters

Playwright Aziz and actor Derya are a husband-and-wife pair known for their avant-garde theatre works. But when they receive menacing ‘yellow letters’ – official government edicts – labelling their work “too political”, they swiftly lose the platform and careers they’ve spent so long building, and their life begins to unravel. As the couple move from Ankara to Istanbul with their 13-year-old daughter, relationships begin to fray and ethics become compromised, the hostility of the Turkish regime infecting the family dynamic.
