Our take

Set amid the bustle of Berlin, this indie gem casts light on the solitude of expats via a woman’s quest for home. Subtly capturing the emotional intricacies of millennial migration, Alpgiray Uğurlu’s debut feature reflects on the fragility of solidarity and notions of belonging in a foreign land.
