Synopsis
Heist School (Sınav, 2006) is a Turkish dramedy from director Ömer Faruk Sorak, available to watch online on iFILM. Five high schoolers decide to steal the booklets for the country's all-important university entrance exam.
In Turkey one test can decide everything: pass and university opens up, fail and the doors close. A group of friends, terrified of the exam, cooks up a bold plan to swipe the questions in advance. They pull in a perpetual repeater who still can't manage to graduate. Then everything shifts. His mother is diagnosed with cancer, and her one wish is to see her son become a student, so she puts off her own treatment. What begins as a caper turns into a story about duty, friendship and the price of a dream. İsmail Hacıoğlu, Tuba Büyüküstün and Zafer Algöz head the cast. The film slides from teen comedy into genuine drama, and that swing is its strength. Stream Heist School (2006) online on iFILM.
