Winter Sleep (Turkish: Kış Uykusu [ˈkɯʃ ujkuˈsu]) is a 2014 Turkish drama film directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, adapted from the novella "The Wife" by Anton Chekhov and one subplot of The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.[3] The story is set in Anatolia and examines the significant divide between the rich and the poor as well as the powerful and the powerless in Turkey.[4] It stars Haluk Bilginer, Demet Akbag and Melisa Sözen.

Ceylan had long wished to adapt "The Wife", and shot it in Cappadocia. At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, the film won the Palme d'Or and the FIPRESCI Prize.[5][6]
