Plot

Duygu, who works as a translator at a translation agency, experiences loneliness with her doctor husband Yılmaz, although she does not know the exact reason why. The young woman takes refuge in her childhood to escape her inner conflicts and remembers the days when she and her brother Hâluk used to collect fireflies.

Sinekatalog’s take

A translator lonely in her marriage to a doctor retreats into childhood memories of catching fireflies with her brother. A delicate, melancholy drama about inner life. Worth finding for viewers of quiet Turkish psychological stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
