UNFEELING

Nursel, a renowned actress, experienced the heartbreaking loss of her unborn child and journalist husband on the same day in the 1990s. Despite her fame in Turkey, Nursel chose to settle in France, where she now provides acting training at a workshop-cafe. One day, her friend Engin, a producer, approaches her with an offer for the lead role in a play based on Nursel's idol, Iranian Furugh Ferrohzad.

Nursel decides to return to Turkey after three decades. However, upon arriving at her home in Beyoğlu, she encounters Perisa, an unexpected presence linked to Murtaza Bey, a doorman who made an unauthorized hiring. Perisa, a mysterious and pregnant woman, forms a unique bond with Nursel, leading to a profound emotional journey for both women. In the end, Nursel delivers a remarkable performance on stage.
