Plot summary
May 22nd, 1963. Unhappy with the existing social and political situation in Turkey, a group of military officers has planned a coup d’état to take down the government in Ankara. Meanwhile in Istanbul, their conspirators have undertaken the vital mission of taking over the National Radio station and making a formal announcement about the coup. But nothing goes to plan. Faced with a number of obstacles, including a sudden rainstorm, the absence of the radio station technician, a betrayal, the lack of feedback from Ankara and their very own inefficiency, the conspirators scramble to keep their plan on track and announce the success of the coup – that is, if the coup in the capital has taken place at all.

Raw Realism in "Anons" (2017): A Masterclass in Authentic Filmmaking
A Tarkovsky-like Turkish Movie
I don't know how to put this, but this is one of the best movies I watched in a really long while, and it is even more surprising for me that this movie is actually Turkish, since I didn't expect this sort of a production quality and refined writing. The story is about 4 Turkish soldiers and them trying to get the radio broadcast on to make the coup announcement, although feelings and the criticism of how absurd of our world is can be understood for all, I think that it is most suitable for people living in dtysfunctioning countries, not giving any names *uhm I love my sandwich uhm* since the movie mainly deals with characters' dedication to a cause and how stupid those turn out to be. The movie cinematography really follows a pattern that can be considered similar to Tarkovsky, really long scenes that were not supposed to be that long only to reward you with a really thoughtful ending that is meaningless on its own. I would recommend everyone to check this movie out, and I think you should be able to find English version somewhere since this was a Bulgarian-Turkish cooperation.
