Ahmet Necdet Cupur worked for three years in Iraq and Afghanistan during the war as a civil engineer. He then decided to become a filmmaker and moved to Paris. Two years after his arrival, he got funding from CNC for his short film Latin Babylon. After he completed his film, he returned to his village in Turkey, after twenty years, and shot Les enfants terribles, a documentary about his family that made its world premiere in the official selection of Visions du Réel in 2021.
In the little Turkish town of Keskincik, the filmmaker shares an intimate portrait of a young Turkish generation ready to bring change. The daily life of his family reveals the everyday fight of young adults to assert their independence in the face of a paternal authority anchored in traditional values.
