Senmova

Director: Tugce Sen
Cast: Saadet Isil Aksoy, Derya Durmaz, Murat Serezli 











The story of two childhood friends, political activist Ismene and apolitical and naïve Effie… A dangerous totalitarian regime in an untimely era, where the people speak Esperanto. We are free to choose whether to become activists or not, but can we determine the consequences of these choices?

Ismene, who is about to take part in an anarchist operation, insists that Effie come with her. Effie responds that she’d rather help those closest first, and decides that she’d rather go help her grandmother. However, her refusal to tell the location of Ismene to the police, who are looking for her, results in Effie’s own arrest as collaborator. She is interrogated by this unknown country’s biggest defender, detective Koralo. Thinking only of one cigarette, and calmly waiting for her death sentence, Effie is unaware of the terrible surprise to come.

Lyrics: Tugce Sen
Music and Vocal: Huseyin Ozturk
Arrangement: Danie Tasel
in Esperanto:
Ĉu vi povus vojaĝi ĉirkaŭ la mondo kun nur unu cigaredo?
Ĉu la vivo konsistas el nur unu longa tago?
Ĉu estas iu diferenco inter vivo kiu ricevis fumon en sian okulon 
kaj vivo ekmirigata per la lumo?
La tago estas la sama tago. Longa kaj morna …
in English:
Could you travel the world with just one cigarette?
Does life consist of one long day?
Is there any difference between a life that got smoke in its eye 
and a life dazzled (by the light)?
The day is the same day.
Long and gloomy…
