Nedret Gets Lost for a Day
Nedret Bugün KaybolurTurkey, 2017, experimental, 12 mins., Turkish with Lithuanian and English subtitles, N-13
Nedret, an attractive older woman, wakes up next to her husband’s dead body with no idea who committed the murder. She begins a journey of no return when she is locked out of their apartment. Wearing a bloodied, pink satin nightgown and with the name of another woman on her lips, she avoids questions about what happened. As she gets closer to the woman she’s searching for, passing through the boundaries of home and the city, will she be able to find an answer?
