The Announcement

Overview

On May 22, 1963, a discontented faction of military officers in Turkey orchestrates a coup against the Ankara government. Their key mission is to seize control of the National Radio station in Istanbul to publicly declare their takeover. However, chaos ensues as they encounter unexpected challenges: a torrential rainstorm, the radio technician’s absence, a betrayal from within, and a lack of communication from Ankara. Amidst their growing incompetence, the conspirators desperately race against time to announce their coup's success, all while uncertain if the uprising in the capital has even occurred.
