Perde is a comedy-drama directed by Özkan Çelik, who wrote it with Cem Zeynel Kılıç, and produced by Çelik Film. Çelik's earlier film was Babamın Kemikleri. Tülin Özen plays Zeynep, Cem Zeynel Kılıç plays Samet, İpek Türktan plays Ebru, Faruk Barman plays Yasin, Duygu Karaca plays Filiz and Bedir Bedir plays Selim; Özlem Durmaz (Songül) and Kürşat Demir (Harun) are also in the cast. Much of the cast comes from the theater.

The film was shown in September 2025 at the 32nd International Adana Golden Boll Film Festival. Özkan Çelik and Cem Zeynel Kılıç won the best screenplay award; Tülin Özen shared the best actress award with Bige Önal, and Duygu Karaca and Bedir Bedir won the supporting-actor awards.

Samet is promoted to general manager and invites friends to his home to celebrate. Before going in, as usual, he is feeding the cats when he sees a woman on the ground floor undressing; she notices him and he runs off in a panic. The apartment's doorman is blamed for the incident. Samet's wife Zeynep keeps defending the doorman when she discusses it with their friends. When she learns that her own husband is the one responsible, she has to choose between what she believes is right and the safety of her own life.

Through different eyes

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Winning best screenplay at the Adana Golden Boll suggests the film's real strength lies in the writing. This tight frame, one apartment, a group of friends and a single incident, is a space where a cast from the theater would feel at home. The risk lies right there: a narrative dominated by place and dialogue can give the impression of a filmed play unless it builds a cinematic language. Editing and cinematography choices decide that line. It is an interesting option for those who want a stage-based comedy-drama, and an uncertain one for those looking for visual boldness.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The film centers on a doorman blamed for something and a woman who defends him in conversation with friends, which brings the class and power gap in apartment life into view. An incident that happens just before a promotion celebration recalls a familiar social reflex: pushing responsibility down the hierarchy. Zeynep having to choose between what she thinks is right and her own safety makes for a structure that tests the conscience of the middle class. The frame asks the questions a moral comedy should ask; how bold the answers are is left to those who watch.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

This is not a film to watch with children. At the center of the incident is a man who sees a woman undressing and panics; that kind of subject is not suited to young viewers. It is a better pick for groups of adult friends who want a comedy-drama that gets people talking about lies, conscience and honesty. The award-winning performances may make it worth watching for an adult audience. It is for an evening among adults, not for the family.
