Abluka (Turkish for ‘frenzy’) is described by the director Emin Alper as a warning about the fragility of democracy. Through the story of two brothers, Kabir and Ahmed, the film explores themes of paranoia engendered by the socio-political fear of terrorism and state-sponsored distrust of institutions of government.
