Synopsis

Our take

Overflowing with queer effervescence, Can Merdan Doğan’s boisterous short marshals a light-hearted, subversive take on traditional gender roles and the institution of marriage. A wild ride of comedy, music, and melodrama manifesting unconventional ways of keeping a family together.
