One man (Levent Can) all alone in a distant shack in the middle of a cool, refreshing quasi-mountainous landscape surrounded by lush green fields is on the brink of suicide. He wraps a noose around his neck and he seems to be prepared for his ultimate end. Who knows what brought him up to this point? Simply depression? Lack of ability to connect with the world? Constantly looking for the meaning of life and being fed up with questioning it? Or just a sudden an occasional bout of melancholy? No matter what causes him to think about suicide, it's only a few milk bottles that will keep him connected to the world he lives in. Why do we always try to find supernatural, divine explanations for ostensibly unnatural phenomena? If we didn't see any signs of a divinity, would we fix ourselves in denial? Does our eventual serenity depend on our sense of wonder? Ayşegül Şahinbozkır's original, creative and smart short makes one ask such questions. These are not easy questions with clear-cut answers. I guess each one of us has our own answers and the way each one us find our way (if we can) to serenity must lurk in the details of our relief from feelings of insignificance and uncertainty.
