The director said: "Humans combine rationality and irrationality, passion and values, making us good as well as bad. The pain, which we suffer, is hidden in our nature, which is difficult to understand. My main objective in cinema is to question the nature by which we have to live desperate lives, and understand how our lives are shaped by human nature."Set in Istanbul and filmed in 2015, "Kor" is a Turkish-German co-production and post-production took place in Germany.
