Synopsis

An alchemist is invited to the royal court of Ulzamar and tasked to cure the unacceptable condition of the Queen.

Our take

Melding black-and-white cinematography with a creeping, ominous soundscape, this phantasmagorical short has a sinister undercurrent. With a compelling narrative of resistance and transformation, Emir Ziyalar’s imaginative world-building creates a cinematic realm of palpable intrigue.
