The poster for the film 'Gazelle' shows a close-up of a person's face with their eye closed, holding a green book or notebook close to their face. The text on the poster includes the phrase "Exile is only the beginning" and lists awards and nominations for the film, directed by Nadir Sarıbacak and Samy Pioneer.

Exile is only the beginning.

Alone in New York, Yakup clings to the hope of reunion. As the wait drags on, his grip on time and reality begins to slip, pulling him deeper into a fragile and unsettling inner world.

Gazelle marks the directorial debut of acclaimed actor Nadir Sarıbacak, created with co-director Samy Pioneer. Drawing from lived experiences of exile and displacement, the film unfolds as an intimate psychological drama of separation, resilience, and the fragile terrain of the human mind.
