Chicken Broth Soup

November 2023 - May 2024
KIRKLARELİ

Every day, dozens of women become victims of violence and many of them lose their lives. This short film project, which questions this system where masculine domination prevails and the phenomenon of justice completely protects the perpetrators, discusses the potential of masculine violence through a character that has a high status in society. In this system, where every man can be a potential perpetrator, our project, which examines the background of the decision made, regarding the victim's request, aims to create a strong voice.
