4	''Kış Uykusu'' (English title ''Winter Sleep'') is a 2014 Turkish language film by Creator/NuriBilgeCeylan, which won the UsefulNotes/PalmeDOr at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The film tells the story of Aydin (Haluk Bilginer), a wealthy and educated former actor, who some years earlier left Istanbul to settle in Cappadocia with Nihal (Melisa Sozen), his much younger wife. The couple lead a relatively secluded life, managing a small hotel, where Aydin's intellectual but bitter sister often joins them as a guest. Nihal meanwhile is dissatisfied with her life and her relationship with Aydin, and tries to assert herself by doing charity work for the benefit of the impoverished locals, which causes conflict between herself and her cynical, elitist husband.
