Movie profile

The Pendant

Breaking a mirror initiates five different acts in five different places; exposing shades of magic, politics, and systemic violence. The harm social systems are designed to inflict, the enforced disappearances in Turkey during the 1990s, the border politics of the EU, manipulative storytelling, and power struggles are evoked as the round Pendant attempts to become whole again with its gemstones scattered throughout the acts.

Directed by Mayıs Rukel
