The Clerk
Set during the Ottoman era, the film tells the story of a young clerk living in Üsküdar with his mother. Well educated and polite, he is known by everyone simply as “Katip.” Despite graduating at the top of his class, Katip is unable to secure a government position due to the lack of political connections.

The Duke
In 1961, a 60-year-old taxi driver stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. What happened next became the stuff of legend.
