Sefer Firatoglu

One of Those Days When Hemme Dies (2024) swings in with a vibe that's equal parts bleak and biting. Sefer Firatoglu doesn’t tiptoe around the theme—he jumps right into the weird mess of daily life, where Hemme, yeah, the main guy, pretty much stumbles through the kind of day where everything unravels. Nothing goes his way. Alarm clock fails him, coffee spills everywhere, and the universe seems to have it out for him. You ever wake up and just know it’s not your day? That’s Hemme, times ten. Instead of the usual hero-gets-back-up story, this one leans into the chaos—Hemme’s stuck in a loop of bad luck, weird encounters, awkward silences, and the occasional existential crisis. There’s dark humor tangled up in every scene, like life’s just trolling him for fun. Firatoglu’s style? Raw, a little gritty, and not afraid to show the cracks. The people around Hemme aren’t exactly helping. Friends, family, even strangers—they all add another layer to his headache. The movie’s not just about one guy’s crappy day, though. It pokes at bigger stuff, like how people deal (or don’t) when life gets absurd. Hemme’s story, as much as it’s a trainwreck, feels weirdly relatable. By the end, you start to wonder—maybe we’re all just having one of those days sometimes. The film doesn’t force a silver lining, and honestly, that’s what makes it stick.
