Synopsis

Tomatoes, peppers and all other plants in Adana’s Çetirevli village survive with pesticides. Just like diagnosed depression patients who make up half of the village.

Our take

A wry portrait of seasonal rhythms, resilience, and routine, Aybüke Avcı’s playfully observant debut documentary squeezes laughter from lethargy. From the grinding of peppers to the grinding of days, Tomato, Pepper, Depression turns family fatigue into a quietly absurd hymn to endurance.
