SYNOPSIS

Ten-year-old İmre moves through the world with a raw, intuitive, almost punk-like energy that doesn’t quite fit what people expect from a little girl in a quiet lakeside town. While playing a game in the woods, she discovers a woman’s body that is covered and entangled with wild plants, as if reclaimed by nature itself. Soon after, whispers begin to spread. People start to say İmre may carry something inherited from her late grandmother – a woman who listened to other women, eased their pain, brought them calm and, some believed, even healed them. And for exactly those reasons, fear grew silently around her. One day, a suspicious fire broke out in her house. She disappeared in it. Now, amid whispers of carrying this rumoured shamanic inheritance – something İmre never asked for – every little thing around her suddenly starts to take on meaning. Another sign. Another proof. Yet, this is not the distant past. This is today. And still, when fear and grief enter their lives, people look for something to hold onto – even if that thing appears to be a little bad-ass girl who does not want to be anyone’s saviour. Fear is already spreading through the town. A disease, believed to have come with wild animals that have escaped the forests, stirs anger and accusations. People begin turning towards İmre with their hopes, grief, and quiet requests. At first, the children are fascinated by her. But fascination turns into fear; fear turns into cruelty. As the unknown grows, the town looks for someone to blame. And for the first time, İmre begins to wonder whether the thing everyone fears in her might actually exist.
