正片劇情簡介
A man goes against the laws of God and man to help a friend , with unfortunate consequences, in this stylish drama from Turkish filmmaker Dervis Zaim. The story begins with a brief prologue set in the 13th Century , in which a calligrapher is completing a copy of the Koran and his assistant is sent out for ink so he can complete the project before an invading Mongol army attacks . Moving forward into the 21st Century , Selim Hodja (Serhat Kilic) is a descendent of the family that commissioned the Koran we saw in the preface . Selim has fallen on hard times and he wants to sell the rare holy book, and he turns to Ahmet (Mehmet Ali Nuroglu) , an artist and calligrapher who has just finished a stretch in prison, for help in finding a buyer . Not willing to negotiate the black market for religious artifacts by himself , Ahmet turns to Cengiz (Mustafa Uzunyilmaz) , a feared man in local organized crime circles , who says he can help them find a good price for the rare Koran. However, as Selim and Ahmet work more closely with Cengiz and his underlings , they're drawn deeper into a web of criminal behavior that they can't easily escape . Nokta (aka Dot) received its North American premiere at the 2008 Toronto World Film Festival .
