Carpisma (Crash) is the 17 min long short-film of Umut Aral. Watching the film though I mostly felt that the short is rather a promo-trailer of a feature-length. It is still a nice film and beautifully shot. Umut is a promising director, and I'm sure he'll soon shoot his first feature-film (and to my knowledge he prepares for one nowadays). Carpisma has a clever plot where the story brings three crooks together by a twist of fate. Musta is hired by a local godfather to kill Cem. He waits Cem in front of Central Station, while Ali is being chased by police and he bumps into two of them. They become a trio and start working together. But nothing is as it seems. Ali thinking of himself as a crime master-mind doesn't have even the slightest idea what kind of men he is dealing with. And the past and hidden agendas is not that easy to leave behind. Fate or plot? What brings the characters together? Or is fate something plot-like? Umut gives hopes that he will do good things!
