Abed Abest, who studied architecture, reaches new heights as an artist with “Killing the Eunuch Khan”. His films are like living creatures bubbling with colours and atmosphere. He creates moving images, with a gaze that is both relentless and thoughtful. His debut film "Simulation" (2017) was screened in Berlin and Toronto, but now Abest is coming to Tallinn with his second feature film, which is equal parts seductive, desperate and delicate work of art. "Killing the Eunuch Khan" is a masterpiece by a young director who is fascinated by the fine line between physical reality and the realms of the afterlife.

The first film made as a Latvian-Polish co-production, the director leads the viewer on a dance with love and hate, sharply exposing the ugliness of manipulation and reminding us of unpleasant historical crimes. The Polish grandmaster is not afraid to bring out uncomfortable truths and study human sins in a painfully real and fast-paced drama. A truly brutal wedding bouquet is waiting on screen.

The streets and homes of Istanbul are always full of cute cats. However, when the lonely Zuhal hears a cat near her rental apartment, no one suddenly believes it. This invisible cat exposes the problems of hatred, slander, persecution and jealousy and questions the dilemmas of single women in patriarchal society. It is forbidden to keep a cat in the apartment, but it is equally unthinkable for an educated woman to live alone without her husband.
