The Shell

Leyla (28) is a young painter who has been exposed to male violance and has locked herself in the house for a while. The wounds and stitches on her face are about to recover; however Leyla is not able to tackle with the impacts of the trauma she went through and isolates herself from life. A series of unexpected events take place when she dumps out her self- portrait which reminds her of the times she was happy and therefore cannot bear seeing it anymore. Leyla has to confront the truth and make a choice.
