Synopsis

Deniz and Can are two siblings who are bedridden and live with the support of their mother, Aysel. After losing their home in the Maraş earthquake, the family now lives with a relative in Alaçatı. Five days of interviews shed light on their lives and perspectives.

Our take

Shunning spectacle and schadenfreude, Jehan Barbur and Güneş Kazdal’s empathetic documentary surfaces the dignity of its subjects in the face of adversity and erasure. Attentive to their voices, this deeply humane film reframes care, autonomy, and visibility as matters not of charity but of justice.
