“Bloody Traces of a Murderer”

Overview

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.
