Fırat Özeler | Turkey, 2022, 88'
A young woman goes on a voyage inspired by the ones similar to those in the films of Turkish master filmmaker Ömer Kavur. Performing an imaginary dialogue, the woman and Kavur wander around abandoned towns, ruins, and deserted hotels. During this timeless encounter, unclaimed letters, shared obsessions, unrecalled dreams, and a lost film guide their mutual reckoning on solitude, truth, and cinema itself.
