The End Will Be Spectacular (2019)

Plot

Zilan returns to her hometown in search of her brother, a victim of ISIS, only to find it transformed by escalating social and political unrest. As the community fights for autonomy, they face brutal repression from police and military forces. Over the course of more than 100 days, the spirit of resistance ignites, compelling Zilan to take action rather than stand idly by. Drawing inspiration from the diaries of fallen fighters and the accounts of survivors, Çelik's debut feature delves into themes of hope, friendship, sacrifice, and the quest for freedom among a group of determined youth.
