From the series Çırçır
ÇırÇır is staged in a setting in a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Istanbul recently bought by the state as an investment. And only then was it possible for the women of Güreş's family, all playing themselves in the series, to get their own shares from the property to start their own lives; previously, the patriarchal order always protected men. Curious scenarios of liberation and solidarity among women from different walks of life are realized around this condemned house with a subtle hint of mischievous desire, as depicted in an older woman watching a young woman pulling the stocking of another who sits over a fridge in Front Balcony in a dreamlike moment or in a moment of triumph and happiness for the lesbian couple with their baby in Ask For More.
