PANDORINA-SKRINKA

Today, two sisters and a brother live in the center of İstanbul with very different lives, self-centered on their upper – middle class preoccupations. A phone call brings them together on a voyage to the small town in the Black Sea mountains where they were born. Their aged mother, Nusret, has disappeared. As the siblings start reminiscing about her, the tensions between them quickly become apparent; like a Pandora’s box which is spilled open, all the unresolved disputes are scattered around. They soon learn that Nusret is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and needs their help. It is only the rebellious grandson Murat who emphasizes with Nusret. He sneaks her out of the institution where her daughters have committed her and leads her back to her home in the mountains, to which she desperately wishes to return…
