Short Films, 06-Dec-2022
On a laid-back summer day, a young woman spends some time with her casual partner. Irmak Akgur directs “Limerence,” a slice-of-life portrait that flows in uninhibited vignettes. Minimally plotted but tonally sharp, Akgur’s film captures a couple of free spirits in their element — spending the day preening, dancing in the sun, making love.

Cast: Zeynep Kalender, Elias Gu.
