Plot

Ali and Ceren are two friends trying to make a living by acting. The fact that the theater plays directed by their mutual friend, Burak, is left without an audience and the interviews with the actors, which result in constant disappointment, cause disappointment to Ali one after the other.

Sinekatalog’s take

A modest drama about two struggling actors and the slow erosion of hope in an indifferent theater scene. It is grounded and wry about artistic frustration. Resonates most with anyone who has chased a creative dream against the odds.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
