A woman of Turkish ascent, following ancient anatolian healing rites, dreams her way through fragments of memory, both personal and collective. Guided by a mythological character, Kheiron the Centaur,

she travels freely between the ruins of an ancient Roman hospital

and the streets of a mountain village, high above the river Euphrates. Time and space become dislocated, opening up passages between worlds. An inner experience translated into a film poem, Kazarken explores memory as a place of struggle against oblivion and the violences of hidden history.
