Overview
This is a travel film, shot in Turkey from January to May 2024. It combines still and moving images of the eastern part of the country—a region marked by centuries of wars, forced displacement, and earthquakes—with performed portraits of three students living in neighborhoods on the outskirts of Istanbul. Through its movement, its journey, and the gradual emergence of its form, the film poses the following question: What can we offer as an alternative to confinement, to being confined to conventional and supposedly immutable narratives and ways of life?
