Masked figures with machine guns march into the secondary school in Karatas, take the pupils hostage, and execute one of them. They make no demands. Silent terror is their modus operandi. Seeing as the army will take two days to arrive due to a snowstorm, maths teacher Tazshi decides to assemble his own assault team: his ex-wife, the gym teacher, the cowardly school principal, an alcoholic night watchman, the village idiot, and an incompetent chief of police.
A strange movie is being made in my country. Almost existential. Sometimes even grotesque. You begin to feel the latter with a phrase thrown by a math teacher to students: "Who to kill: wife or mother-in-law?" Of course, mother-in-law. That is pragmatism.” Caratas is like Looking Glass. You feel like you are in a parallel reality.

A strange movie is being made in my country. Almost existential. Sometimes even grotesque. You begin to feel the latter with a phrase thrown by a math teacher to students: "Who to kill: wife or mother-in-law?" Of course, mother-in-law. That is pragmatism.” Caratas is like Looking Glass. You feel like you are in a parallel reality. No less interesting are the moments of preparation for the assault. But the very essence of the film is the ending. What happened after school was taken. And it's not Looking Glass anymore. It's our reality. Here, perhaps, the whole idea of the directors is revealed. Those who want to see an action thriller or action movie in this movie will be clearly disappointed. By the way, all the recommendations for the film are correct. Before us is a rare, complex, slow and no less rigid movie.
