Outskirts
Turkey / Fiction / 18' / HD / Color / 2017
On a cold Sunday in winter, Çiğdem and Kerim, a couple in their late thirties, hit the road along with their 8-year old daughter Yasi. They arrive to an old abandoned villa in the outskirts of the city, inherited by Çiğdem and her brother and which they are selling. A tension possibly linked to different reasons builds up between each other, to which Yasi does not seem totally oblivious.
