Turkish couple Bahar and Selma are eager to adopt a baby, but they want to keep it a secret in order to give the world the impression that their child is of natural birth. So they create a few fake photo albums, small bits of evidence to back up false memories. Things go awry when this relatively innocuous act leads to unanticipated results, with the couple getting tripped up in the bureaucratic dance of adoption. The debut feature from Mehmet Can Mertoglu, ALB?M is surreal and wonderfully absurd, while also firmly rooted in the trappings of contemporary life. Winner of the France 4 Visionary Award at **Cannes Film Festival**
