After being knocked unconscious in an accident and losing his memory, Ali is like a newborn baby, exploring his new world and putting the pieces of his identity back together. Focusing on a group of families and close friends, the story is set in a nostalgic version of the “Istanbul neighborhood”.

Reha Erdem’s Mommy, I’m Scared is a dark comedy unafraid to challenge social constructs, particularly patriarchal ones. Erdem ties together the threads of interconnected and intertwining narratives between friends, family members and neighbors in Istanbul to reflect on the nature of being human.
