No Deal

Description

Birger Edman, a burned-out Scandinavian dermatologist, moves to southern Turkey with Madeleine, his physiotherapist wife, to rebuild his life. While there he reluctantly becomes rich and a magnet for his greedy stepson, Carlos.

Carlos, a budding economist, is brimming with business ideas and self-confidence, but Birger grows increasingly concerned about his projects and ethics. As Madeleine sides with Carlos, the family is on a collision course.

When Carlos' business schemes spiral out of control, Birger must battle to save his own reputation and his marriage...

No Deal explores the complexities of conflict and morals in the modern world and within families.
