Madame
Directed by Halit Refiğ
Produced by Odak Film
A deeply melancholic portrait of an isolated elderly woman confronting mortality, displacement, and the fear of abandonment through her anxiety over her cat's future.
An elderly piano teacher recently diagnosed with terminal cancer lives in fear of death. But her real fear is who will take care of her cat, her only friend, after her death. As she tries to find someone to take care of her cat, the generational clash of the times and the drastically changing urban identity of Istanbul confront her with an unpleasant prospect.
