Ragıp, a fine arts graduate, is deceived by the older painter Feridun with the promise of art. He gets involved in human trafficking in France and gets out of this business years later. 25 years later, he comes back to Turkey and aims to open a workshop and enter the market in order to practice his main profession as a painter. On the one hand, he started to give painting lessons. Since he lost all his human feelings during the period he was trafficking in human beings, he wants to recapture them through art. On the other hand, the schizophrenia he tries to escape from increases and makes his daily life unbearable. Ragıp keeps the trainees he teaches and the people he does not want in his life in the basement and starts to use them as painting material.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
