Charting the recovery of wildlife in the aftermath of Australia's catastrophic bushfires through stories of hope and resilience.Posted by: İlhan Sami Çomak
IMDB 7 | Jan , 2016
The story puts İlhan Çomak at the center, even though he is not physically present in the film. It focuses on the 21 years that İlhan spent in prison and his family’s experience of those years without him. The narrative is constructed through the letters İlhan wrote and aims to describe his life, his emotions and longings. The film constructs İlhan’s history through a chronology in the prison but refrains from restricting it only to a “prisoner’s quest for justice”, and rather tells a story of the situations he finds himself in over the years and his emotions and their equivalents in life.Short Stack Live at the Sydney Opera House
