Synopsis

Ali and Ceren are two friends trying to break out as actors. As their play – directed by their mutual collaborator – Burak, draws no audience, Ali becomes increasingly more frustrated as he gets rejections over and over from casting calls.

Our take

Brimming with moments of quiet heartache and genuine connection, Donadona is a hilariously heartbreaking tapestry of aspiration and unspoken emotion. In this bittersweet indie comedy, the directorial duo navigate the subtle ebbs and flows of a romantically complicated theatrical partnership.
