'Clouds of May' tells the story of Muzaffer, an Istanbul filmmaker who returns to his small provincial hometown to make a movie. While professing a desire to capture the essence of village life on film, his obsessive dedication to his art in reality blinds him to the everyday events that really matter to the people who live there. Featuring natural performances from his own parents and Muzzaffer Ozdemir and Mehment Emin Toprak - who would later share acting honours at the Cannes Film Festival for 'Uzak' - Ceylan's semi-autobiographical film is a subtle and sensitive portrait of a rural community.
