don't let the bedbugs bite (2026)

By the end of the weekend, nothing has truly changed. Ekin remains the same, the Anatolian side of Istanbul remains the same. Set in 2020s Istanbul, the film follows Ekin, a young adult living with his mother whose days revolve around searching for a place to live, at least as he tries to believe. As childhood memories, friendships, and new encounters linger in the streets, anxiety quietly grows, and after sleep, life resumes exactly where it left off.
