The filmmaker will personally present the film to Armenian audience. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is a morality tale that reflects the state of mind of the Turkish people. Combining the mystery of a dead body buried in the hills of Anatolia with the spark of an existential journey for its protagonist, the drama mirrors issues the country faces today. Ceylan became famous due to 2002 film Uzak (Distant) which won 17 awards and 2 nominations, including the Grand Prix and Prix d'interpretation masculine, shared by two actors of the film at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.
