Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil—this unspoken rule governs the life of Eyüp’s family. To protect his superior, an influential politician, Eyüp takes the blame for a crime he did not commit and is sent to prison. Left behind is a family struggling to maintain balance. Eyüp’s son İsmail attempts to step into the role of “the man of the house,” while his wife Hacer drifts dangerously close to the very man responsible for Eyüp’s imprisonment. Caught between duty, dependency, and denial, the family’s fragile structure begins to crack. What starts as an act of loyalty evolves into a web of lies and suppressed truths. In THREE MONKEYS, Nuri Bilge Ceylan delivers a quiet yet haunting exploration of moral blindness and the destructive power of silence—revealing how the refusal to face the truth ultimately unleashes uncontrollable consequences. THREE MONKEYS premiered in competition at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, where Nuri Bilge Ceylan won the award for Best Director. The film was also nominated for the Palme d’Or and selected as Turkey’s submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Widely regarded as Ceylan’s international breakthrough, Three Monkeys is considered a landmark of contemporary Turkish cinema.
