Brussels, Here We Come

On election day, two friends who have escaped from a mental hospital hijack a plane, believing they are filming a documentary, and unwittingly plunge Turkey into unexpected chaos. As commentators in a television studio try to make sense of the events during a live broadcast, a simple attempted plane hijacking quickly turns into a political crisis. Meanwhile, after a transgender person and one of the neighborhood’s young people run away together, the residents gather at a coffeehouse. Polarized by fear, anger, and prejudice, the neighborhood is driven toward an internal reckoning. Moving between the plane, the television studio, and the coffeehouse, the film illustrates how reality is distorted in the span of a single day and how an absurd incident can turn into a national panic.
