HYPNOTIC

TUTSAK

Fiction; Turkey, 2024; No Dialogue; Color; 8 minutes.

When human invented the wheel, he found joy in it. The digital era brought more discoveries and increased that pleasure. Over time, a hypnotic bond formed between him and his creations. Many lived their lives under this spell, only waking up at the end, realizing what they missed—the pure joy of a child in a poppy field, the enthusiasm of a young man ruffling his hair in the wind while riding a mare. Autumn's yellow leaves and falling snowflakes held childlike beauty, all of which he missed.
