Directing
The story of a young teenage girl in Artvin, a city in Turkey’s Black Sea region, who lost her father to cancer when she was three years old. She works collecting tea, despite the wave of anger inside her towards tea, because her father’s cancer was caused by the radioactive teas he would often drink in April 1986, right after the big explosion in Chernobyl.
Condemned to silence on an isolated farm under her husband's control, a woman sees the cage that imprisons her own soul reflected in the pens of the animals. An unexpected act of cruelty from her husband awakens a suppressed darkness within her, and she is no longer alone. The dinner table, set in the darkness of night, becomes the stage for a man's crumbling power and the silent alliance of two women.
