It's loosely based on Chekovs short stories.

More specifically, the relationship between Aydin and his sister is based on Chekhov's story "Excellent People", and the relationship between Aydin and his wife on Chekhov's "The Wife".

Thanks, Tchoutoye: Do you know if these are the only two Chekhov stories which are alluded to in this long and wonderful screenplay?

Yeah right, with Aydin chasing his wife with an axe. Asshat.
