Inspired by harrowing real-life news stories, The Day of the Night is a haunting tale of cyberbullying, betrayal, and vengeance among youth.
Gündüz, a gentle and well-loved member of a close-knit friend group, becomes the target of a cruel online prank.
Encouraged by the social media influencers within the group, the “game” is to publicly humiliate Gündüz on social media.
The bullying escalates, and the consequences are devastating—Gündüz attempts suicide and survives, but is left paralyzed.
The Day of the Night is an intense psychological chamber piece that raises urgent questions about accountability, peer pressure, and the unchecked power of social media.
Gripping and morally complex, it holds a mirror to the invisible scars of emotional violence among youth.
