“The pleasure he felt as he strayed into evil would not quench the heart soon to writhe in pain…”
At some point in life — and for some, throughout their entire existence — we search for a savior.
A chance, a loyal friend, a beautiful woman…
We are always waiting for a turning point, unaware of where it will lead us or what awaits us there.
As children, we seek it in a mother’s milk;
in youth, in love;
in old age, in the care of another…
Every cry for help carries within it a seed of helplessness.
Feyruze, who feels the despair of her land down to her very bones;
Kader, crushed beneath her own innocence and the inevitability of her fate;
Seyran, torn apart by longing and surrendering to the helplessness of her desires;
and Salih, who cannot find himself even in the mirror…
This is the story of what they hope to find in Mercy.
MERCY / To Live — What a Great Solace…
