Two siblings try to get to grips with the sudden loss of their parents
- but while Damla (Gizem Aybike Sahin) tries to remain strong and move on,
her brother (Berkan Uygun) prefers to wallow in despair, rather giving in
to grief than trying to get over it. What he doesn't realize is that his
sister is not nearly as strong as she pretends to be ... Aftermath
is a rather compelling short drama, telling it's story in only a handful
of scenes and set-ups, with little dialogue or action ... but that's all
the film needs thanks to an atmospheric directorial effort, just the right
pace to get the message across, and two very decent performances. Sure,
it's a rather depressing film, no matter which way you put it,but if
you're up for that, you'll very probably like it a lot.
