Based in part on Albert Camus's novel The Stranger, Fate is the first film directed by Demirkubuz as part of a trilogy of films called "Tales About Darkness." Unable to make any decisions, office worker Musa (Serdar Orcin) absorbs the death of his mother, a passionless marriage, and his own imprisonment for a crime he didn't commit without any reaction. A portrayal of a passive man alienated from the world around him, Fate is an ambiguous and philosophical film about modern life.
