WHEN THE SKY ENDS(2025)
Director: Uğur Kara
Writers: Uğur Kara & Caner Gümüş
When the Sky Ends tells the story of a man who lost his sight decades ago and suddenly regains it in today’s world. But what happens when someone opens their eyes after forty years? What do they see? What has changed — or disappeared — around them?
Set in Antakya, this fictional film explores not only one man’s personal journey, but also the collective memory of a community that has been pushed into silence. At its heart lies the story of the Alevi people in Turkey — a community that has long faced cultural suppression and assimilation.
As the main character rediscovers his surroundings, we witness a rapidly changing landscape, lost traditions, and the quiet resilience of a people holding onto their identity.
Director Uğur Kara and co-writer Caner Gümüş invite us into a deeply human experience — one that blends memory, loss, and the search for meaning.
When the Sky Ends is not just about seeing again, but about remembering what was once invisible.
