Ghosts

Writer

Ghosts recorre las calles de Estambul en las horas previas a un apagón de la mano de tres mujeres: una joven aficionada al baile, una activista feminista y una mujer cuyo hijo está en la cárcel. En una ciudad en vías de gentrificación que apenas les deja sitio, el pulso y la urgencia del día termina por hacer confluir esas vidas cruzadas en una dudosa operación de tráfico de drogas. Las idas y venidas temporales, un ritmo incesante y el carisma de sus personajes completan el mosaico que compone este filme.
