This is a long shot, but here goes…

About five years ago, I saw a Turkish film at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston that was about an honorable man (good husband, ran a men’s clothing store) who slowly became corrupt after he found(?) a large bag full of money. The film ends (I’ll tag this just to be safe) with a scene in which he is caught _in flagrante_ with a neighbor woman, and then he throws himself off of his balcony. I believe the film was made in the 2000s, or possibly the mid to late '90s.

Does this ring any bells? For the life of me I can’t remember the title, and I’d like to see it again.

[Here](http://www.bostonturkishfestival.org/btf-2007/events/A%20Run%20for%20Money%20-%20Kac%20Para%20Kac.htm) you go- looks like they screened it last month as well.

Netflix doesn’t appear to have it.
