THE PLOT OF THE LAST SUPPER
Released on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey, The Last Supper focuses on the dinner held at the Çankaya Mansion one day before the proclamation of the Republic.
On October 28, 1923, at the Çankaya Mansion, decisions that would change the fate of the country were about to be signed.
The film recounts the events that unfolded in the kitchen and dining hall of the Çankaya Mansion on the evening of October 28, 1923, when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, "Friends, we will proclaim the Republic tomorrow," and the idea of the Republic finally took shape.
