It all starts with the buzzing of a fly. A woman with a cut on her lip stands crying while waiting in a hallway to see the body of her dead husband. The architecture surrounding her is uninviting. The coloring of the world is bleak, cold. The characters around her are careless and dismissive - a disinterested prosecutor who’s too preoccupied with his own phone calls, and a straight-faced doctor who clinically goes through the motions, step by step. What is the right thing to do in a world surrounded by impassion? What is fair? Is there really nothing one can do in a situation so hopeless? Or is that just an excuse to turn a blind eye? Like a persistent, buzzing fly, these questions prod and force us to jolt out of our comfortable seats while watching Chicken Broth Soup - directed and written by Deniz Büyükkırlı, who is known for her previous work on Pretty Little Liars (2015), Brave and Beautiful (2016), and Love Me As I Am (2013).
