A young woman goes to clear out her father’s house shortly after his death and, during her time there, begins to feel intensely the ups and downs of the grieving process.

Yasemin Demirci tenderly navigates grief’s labyrinth in this short film, transforming domestic space into a tableau of emotion. Dedicated to her late father, noted Turkish cartoonist Latif Demirci, In His Fortress transcends personal loss to resonate with universal experiences of memory and healing.
