BERZAH
Heat gets to everyone one way or another, and the protagonists of BERZAH are no exception. In three short episodes set at the seaside in Turkey, the weather strains people’s physical and psychological limits. Whether it’s a vain tourist getting an excessive tan, an annoyed father in his car, or an unhappy delivery man looking for a parking space, they’re all battered by the sun.
