How much space does Zeynep take up in this vast universe? This is a city brimming with the struggling and the unemployed; aren’t their lives a bit like the infinite, tiny particles flying through the air? Zeynep is already trying hard to make ends meet when she gets fired from her job at a textile mill. The Particle follows her as she searches for a job. We follow her in and out of workspaces. Zeynep’s world – the streets and homes in Tarlabaşı – are dark and suffocating.
Directed by Erdem Tepegöz, Particle leans on a strong ensemble — Jale Arıkan, Rüçhan Çalışkur, Ergun Kuyucu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
