Kaybedenler Kulübü / Losers Club

Turkey in the late 1990s: The state government radio has lost its monopoly and new private stations are going on air. The two close friends Kann and Mete send out their own programme: a radically open, late night ‘buddy talk’ dealing with such topics as love, loneliness and premature ejaculation. The laid-back concept takes off – but the two talk masters are themselves lonely guys: they can’t even get past position one-night-stand. Will the success of their show change all that? KAYBEDENLER KULÜBÜ is proof that Turkish cinema not only offers sophisticated art house movies, but also cultivates the light-hearted – as can be seen in this romantic comedy, where humour and introspection coexist in equal measure.
