Groom's Block (Damat Koğuşu) (translated)

Damat Koğuşu (Groom's Block) is a 2017 drama film directed by İlker Savaşkurt. A co-production between Turkey and the United Kingdom, it was written by Mehmet Kala and Şeref Nokta. The film takes its name from the special wings in Turkish prisons, colloquially known as 'groom's blocks,' where inmates convicted of sexual offenses are held.

Produced by Şebnur Büyükmeriç, Abbas Nokhasteh, and İlker Savaşkurt, the film features cinematography by Serdar Ünlütürk and music by Uğur Ateş. Starring Barış Atay, it turns its lens on a dark corner of the penal system, offering a social narrative that questions ideas of justice and punishment.
