The Late Offices(2024)

"Who will bathe me when I die?"

The Late Offices follows Baki, a reclusive Turkish mortician in his 30s who has built a quiet life away from society. When confronted with his own mortality, he's seized by an unsettling question: who will prepare his body when he dies? The thought propels him into the world to forge human connections and find a partner. What begins as a sincere quest quickly spirals into a series of awkward, darkly comic encounters that test his resolve. Baki's fumbling attempts at social integration reveal the gap between his isolated existence and the messy reality of human relationships. The series balances melancholy introspection with absurdist humor, exploring themes of loneliness, mortality, and the unexpected ways we're pushed toward change.
