Square Heads (Kare Kafalar) is a 2025 animated comedy feature film created, written and directed by Serhan Yorganci. The 93 minute film follows three close friends named Brave, Four-Eyes and Freckle, who discover an old wish watch in their neighborhood. At first it appears to be a small and harmless object, but once it activates, it pulls them out of their familiar world and places them in a stricter and almost surreal parallel place. Instead of granting wishes, the watch sends them into a reality controlled by Ruhi, a demanding figure who forces them to earn every coin through real and exhausting work.

In this unfamiliar world, the kids quickly realize how different everything is. At home they are used to spending money with a single click, but here they face strict rules, unfair systems and Ruhi’s constant pressure as they try to find a way back. What begins as a playful and absurd adventure slowly becomes a story about growing up, friendship, responsibility and the hidden structures that shape how people work, spend and understand the true value of things.
