ABSENT

Mert, a 30-year-old male, is employed at an abandoned-looking amusement park. He is grappling with an internal duality, while sensing a lurking identity bent on undermining him.

Hair-raising fairground rides and signs that light up the night sky take on an ominous aura in this moody short. As an aimless young man investigates his own ineffable fear, the film teeters on the edge of paranoia, with uncanny images threatening to appear with each atmospheric frame.
