The Market

Directed by Ben Hopkins

One of the UK’s finest young directors, Hopkins (37 Uses For A Dead Sheep) has set his latest film in Turkey, turning a blackly humorous eye to a simple tale of border-crossing trade. Mihram (Ayaydin) is a young man keen to legitimise his life by entering the profitable mobile phone business. Trouble comes when temptation for further profit arrives and Mihram faces a system where all the odds are stacked him.
