Plots(1)
Hasret works for a Turkish television news channel which prides itself on the ambitious maxim: 'What you see is the truth. What you hear is the truth.' But then, suddenly, things begin to change. Editors are told not to comment on politicians' speeches; the news is manipulated and the use of social networks on internal computers is prohibited. Bullied by her overbearing boss, Hasret soon finds herself without her job as an independent film editor. She withdraws into her flat where she begins to experience hallucinations: she hears voices, the walls move and she sees the curtains on fire. Moreover, she begins to realise that her parents were not killed in a traffic accident twenty years ago but must have died in some other, horrific way. What is being kept from her? Director Ceylan Özgün Özçelik managed to finance her topical study in paranoia in part via a crowdfunding campaign. Her film uses the metaphor of mental illness to describe social dislocation and political trauma. (Berlinale)
