Directed by Paula Buchta, this reflective short film follows a young Turkish girl as she grapples with her identity and the realities of becoming a woman. 

Through cinematic and creatively-curated shots, the protagonist contemplates her existence in a world that confines her to predefined roles. Despite embracing cultural wisdom, she confronts the bitter truth of reality as she witnesses her sister's journey into womanhood. 

In a life devoid of the promised rewards of growing into a woman, she finds solace in the sanctuary of sports and pushing the limits of her own physical body.
