Persona is a subtitled Turkish 12-episode TV miniseries offering a unique protagonist in a suspenseful crime drama. Agah (Haluk Bilginer) is a retired, widowed civil servant who learns he’s in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. He’s been burdened with a whopper of a secret for many years involving serious criminal conduct by a whole village full of men – some of whom wield far more influence than they should. With the sun imminently setting on his lucidity, he decides to go vigilante and avenge the old wrongs by bumping off as many of the evildoers as he can before his competence and personality yield to the disease. The idea is to be the man he’s wished he were before losing the ability to even be the man he is.
