May 22nd, 1963. Unhappy with the existing social and political situation in Turkey, a group of military officers has planned a coup d’état to take down the government in Ankara. Meanwhile in Istanbul, their conspirators have undertaken the vital mission of taking over the National Radio station and making a formal announcement about the coup. But nothing goes to plan. Faced with a number of obstacles, including a sudden rainstorm, the absence of the radio station technician, a betrayal, the lack of feedback from Ankara and their very own inefficiency, the conspirators scramble to keep their plan on track and announce the success of the coup – that is, if the coup in the capital has taken place at all.

Raw Realism in “Anons” (2017): A Masterclass in Authentic Filmmaking “Anons,” directed by Mahmut Fazil Coskun, is a powerful example of restrained, realistic filmmaking. Set during a failed coup attempt in 1963 Turkey, the film captures the absurdity and unpredictability of its characters’ night-long mission. Using long, uninterrupted takes and natural lighting, Coskun crafts a documentary-like atmosphere, immersing viewers in the story’s tension and dry humor. The static camera work emphasizes the actors’ subtle, authentic performances, allowing each moment to breathe. The cast delivers a naturalistic style, balancing humor and tension perfectly, making the film feel both grounded and engaging. “Anons” is a true celebration of raw, unfiltered storytelling.
