AFLOAT

Zeynep arrives from New York City to a small town on the coast of Turkey with her American husband Stephen. She returns to a family that is broken- parents who are divorced, a younger sister who has become estranged.The troubled family embarks on a week-long sailing trip, meant to be a last chance for Zeynep’s father Yusuf, a dissident journalist being prosecuted by the government, to reconnect with his daughters before going to prison. Once they are on the boat, gliding across the deep blue water, their sails filled with wind, it seems like the old times. The family is together again – it’s joyful, it’s hopeful. At least in the beginning. As the trip continues we begin to realize things are not as they seem.
