Krizalit
Synopsis
A short film that follows Deniz, an enigmatic young woman drawn into the vibrant life of modern Turkey.

Set against the backdrop of a country in flux, "Krizalit" delicately portrays the healing journey of existing within a city so capable of profound love, yet at times challenged to extend that love to others.
