Not in the System
"Not in the System" tells the story of a man who questions himself and his identity. When our main character, Musa, goes to the Population Directorate to verify his identity, he encounters the shocking truth that there is no record of him. This situation creates suspicions among the officers and leads Musa into a complex and Kafkaesque process. In order to obtain an official document stating that Musa does not exist, he must appear before a judge. The film immerses the audience in the absurd and bureaucratic process at the center of Musa's efforts to prove his identity and existence. While the audience empathizes with Musa's identity crisis, they also deeply reflect on the complexities of modern society and the labyrinth of bureaucracy. The story is both suspenseful and thought-provoking.
Viewer experiences with the film are generally positive. The absurdity of Musa's situation makes viewers laugh and think. The film was shot in Istanbul.
