Essence of Matter

Asli has a perfectionist family. Asli is the only child. Like her peers, she had an active childhood. Her family was frequently called to school and warned since she was a rule-breaking child. Asli's perfectionist family wanted to raise her according to a set of rules because they thought it would help her succeed in life. We embark on a journey of Asli's childhood. Asli is growing up. Asli is a meticulous woman. Someone who strives to succeed in every interaction (work, love relationships) and refuses to accept defeat. She is ambitious now because of her childhood in a family that values perfection. Asli doesn't have many friends. She doesn't trust people. She has two friends from work, Cansu and Onur. Asli criticizes Onur a lot. According to Asli, Onur doesn't treat women well and cannot have a relationship. At the start of the movie, we watch a successful story of Asli as her boss' favorite employee, a woman who is still chasing after her ex-lover but is preferred in every way. As the movie goes on, we force the audience to face the truth that these stories are actually Asli's fiction and that we only see their good aspects through her eyes.
