Butterflies

Butterflies (Kelebekler, 2018) is a Turkish tragicomedy from director Tolga Karaçelik you can watch online on iFILM. Three grown siblings who barely know each other are summoned back to the tiny village where they were born — their estranged father wants them home, now.

Kemal, Kenan and Suzi have spent years apart, scattered into separate lives. The eldest is told to round up the other two and bring everyone back. The drive home turns into an awkward, funny, quietly painful reckoning with childhood, old grudges and a father none of them ever figured out. Tolga Tekin, Tuğçe Altuğ and Bartu Küçükçağlayan lead the cast.

Karaçelik films the absurd as if it were ordinary, letting odd moments land without fuss. The picture took the World Cinema Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance — rare air for a Turkish indie. Best for viewers who like small family stories laced with dry, bitter humor. Stream Butterflies (2018) online on iFILM.
