Description: Ahmet's world shrinks, not to the claustrophobic confines of a dormitory, but to the suffocating weight of expectation in Nehir Tuna's poignant 'Dormitory' (2024). This isn't just a coming-of-age story; it's a visceral exploration of faith, family, and the agonizing loss of innocence. Doğa Karakaş delivers a breathtaking performance as the conflicted Ahmet, navigating the rigid structure of the all-boys religious school with a quiet desperation that resonates deeply. The supporting cast, including Can Bartu Arslan, Ozan Çelik, Tansu Biçer, and Didem Ellialtı, perfectly complement Karakaş’s raw portrayal, creating a believable and emotionally charged environment. Tuna masterfully captures the jarring contrast between Ahmet's yearning for childhood freedom and the increasingly demanding pressures of his new reality. 'Dormitory' isn't just a film; it's a haunting reflection on the complexities of faith and the bittersweet passage into adulthood.
