9/8'lik Kıyamet

Coming soon… We live in a world hit by the climate crisis! It’s been an “extraordinary” catastrophe, but not quite! A group of nomads known as Parasites has emerged, something no country wanted. A boy: Diyar! One of the storytellers of this new society. Every evening, gathered around the fire, the Parasites listen as Diyar takes them back to the first days of the apocalypse with his darbuka.

A story of betrayal!

The early days of the climate crisis! We are in Istanbul! A massive uprising accompanying growing hunger and scarcity! A conservative movement turning the crisis into an opportunity: İzan! And Leyla, the “extraordinary” mysterious girl who changes Diyar’s whole story!

Amidst fires, diseases, migrations, heated tempers, hunger, and thirst, one question becomes more important than all others: As the world we know slips from our hands, who will hold ours, and who will walk beside us?

“That night the first bombs fell! The ground shook beneath our feet! We went outside! The sky was cut in red like hell! Fire everywhere! Maybe they detonated Istanbul in thirty places at once! ‘They’re coming,’ Leyla said! There was something so extraordinary in her voice… Like fear, but not quite… ‘Who’s coming?’ I asked, she didn’t say a word… She didn’t even look back… I looked, though! The fire was all over her face! Her black hair was blazing red! Fire was spinning in her eyes like a whirlpool! I left the fire behind! Because it’s love! Turning back to look at a single person while whole cities burn is it!”
