About

After her painful but liberating journey and months of hospital recovery, she manages to discover herself and furthermore the hidden secrets in her family drawers.

The Score

Hasan wrote an intimate score for this picture, focusing on a narrative through the subconscious. Throughout the film the music progresses with the main character Deniz and portrays her sometimes naive and pure other times dark and twisted inner world.

Recorded at Babajim Studios in Istanbul, with a chamber string orchestra, solo bassoon and piano. Hasan loves the sound of the Fazioli grand piano used in this inspiring recording studio.
