Damaged Lemons

Mavi is a family caregiver and feels torn between her own life—marked by psychological stress—and the responsibility for her chronically ill sister, Nalin. While her sister’s physical illness attracts attention, Mavi’s own mental state is simply overlooked. In a moment of overload, she tries to distance herself from her sister and, in the heat of the moment, locks her in the kitchen. Fleeing home, she meets Royat in a bar. Royat seems to live free from any and all responsibility. Mavi follows her to a house outside of the city, a place where people gather in search of answers to essential questions, and in doing so, she drifts further away from the person she usually is or is supposed to be. But the more she removes herself from her life, the more she falls victim to dissociation, gradually losing her sense of space and time—until Nalin and Mavi’s partner, Khalil, finally find her and bring her to a clinic.
