Director Statement

"The purpose of the Helezon short film series is to remind humanity, which embraces the realities of the modern world and turns its back on nature, of its essence. It is a four-film series based on the premise that 'the water, fire, earth, and air that humans seek in nature are within themselves.' 'Helezon Akışkan' tells the story of water, with the main character's behaviors paralleling those of water."
