Mr. Melih (64) the retiring manager of the Natural History Museum, clumsily tries to adapt to civilian life. After an encounter with a supernatural presence, his innocent middle age depression spirals into a major existential crisis. As he ventures into a search for the meaning of life, he seeks solace from his family but they are busy with their own crises: His wife Suzan (59), an ambitious nurse who feels stuck in a life she’s disappointed with, has fallen victim to a scam she cannot tell to anyone. In the meantime their video-game addict daughter Toprak (30), an unemployed aspiring writer, hopes to run away from an increasingly bleak future & feeling like a failure; and plots a doomed escape to the US following a dream that’s not even hers. Those Who Whistle After Dark is a whimsical tale with dark humor, about three lonely souls who are searching for themselves while trying not to lose one another.
