Alarga|A Story of Despair and Rebirth at 25
SmallRig awards 2025-11-10 00:31:24
After graduating from university, 25-year-old Sedat struggles to find a job. Burdened by unemployment and family pressure, he falls into deep depression. Just as he decides to leave home and start over, a lottery announcement on television changes his life forever.

Directed by Anıl Ataseven, Alarga portrays the hidden struggles of contemporary men facing social and economic pressures through subtle visual storytelling. By choosing not to show Sedat's face, the director turns him into a reflection of countless overlooked individuals. 

A realist film from Turkey—gentle yet sharp, quiet yet powerful.

See it. Change it.
