Çukur: Vartolu · Teaser
The origin story of Vartolu, one of the central characters of Çukur, told as an AI-native film.
After losing his mother and grandfather, a boy grows up on the streets, waiting for his father to find him. When that hope gives way to revenge, Salih becomes Vartolu. Moving between his childhood in Doğubeyazıt, eastern Türkiye, and a confrontation years later in Istanbul, the film traces the losses, love and violence behind that transformation.
A teacher's kindness and the possibility of a life with the woman he loves offer Salih another path. Yet his desire to settle the past shapes decisions whose consequences reach beyond him.
Çukur has aired on free-to-air television in 105 countries since its 2017 premiere. Its official YouTube channel has surpassed 6.4 billion cumulative views.
