SYNOPSIS

Inspired by British director Mike Leigh's 'Secrets and Lies', the film was shot using a script with ""no dialogue, only scene breaks"", believing that ""just by seeing two people in a situation, you can understand the situation and the feelings of the characters, rather than trying to explain them in a bad way"". The actors were given only the events and situations and asked to move freely in the rest of the film. The actors did not try to speak excessively but instead tried to convey the psychology of the moment by performing everyday actions such as eating, washing the bowl, cleaning and sleeping in a restrained tone, and they succeeded well. The fixed-point cameras in several locations inside the house also play a major role in carefully following the small changes that occur in real life.
