ABOUT CIRCLE
In the hard-boiled world, where will the soft-shelled end up? A cozy kind of extermination is on the stage and keeping a low profile. The decadence around us is nothing less than clandestine annihilation of the civil man. Yet it is carried out so well with a grinning face, it is officially sold as transition.
Now that the tamed indulgent is striped off social justice, welfare, even denied the tender love of concentration camps and slavery plantations of past centuries. At least hand them a round of rope… They have high expectations from taking things in their own hands.
"Circle" is a peculiar story of an ordinary man caught between an untimely romance and brave new hostile world.
“Circle” aims to tell about a system in which hopelessness, submission and courage become existential methods. It aims to describe people who on a daily basis do the irrational and inconceivable to survive, and a system which forces people to do so. “Circle” is the story of people in the characters of Feramuz, Arif and Betul who conjure up interesting solutions to the extraordinary situations and obstacles generated by the turn of the social wheel.
The project has been selected for the following workshops and co-producer markets:
