One phone call from Izmir's supposedly dead mother is enough to unravel a life someone thought they had already closed the door on. 0000 Kilometre uses distance — between Turkey and France, between the past and the present — as its central engine.
What is 0000 Kilometre about?
Izmir and Ege have built a settled life together in France, far from the country and the family history Izmir left behind. That distance collapses the moment a caller claiming to be Izmir's mother, believed dead for years, reaches out, forcing a reckoning that neither Izmir nor Ege is prepared for. What follows traces how a single unresolved relationship can outlast geography, pulling two people back toward a past they had structured their entire present around avoiding. The film is less concerned with the mechanics of the call itself than with what it exposes about the life Izmir built to escape it.
About the cast
Derya Pınar Ak and Ahmet Haktan Zavlak lead as Izmir and Ege, supported by a wider ensemble including Gülin İyigün, Ogün Kaptanoğlu, Cavit Çetin Güner, Can Kızıltuğ, Oya İloğulları, and Laçin Ergül. The film gives its central pair the emotional weight of the story while the surrounding cast fills in the family and social world Izmir tried to leave in Turkey, giving the drama a sense of a life that was never as cleanly cut off as it seemed.
Context & significance
0000 Kilometre comes from Turkish director Deniz Enyüksek and belongs to a familiar strand of diaspora-set romantic drama, where a couple's life abroad is tested by unfinished business back home. The zero-distance title gestures at the film's core idea: that no amount of physical separation actually closes a family wound, a theme that gives the France-Turkey axis more weight than a simple change of setting. At 110 minutes, the film has room to sit with both the couple's present-day relationship and the history pulling at it.
