Summaries

Coincidence brings four twenty somethings in contemporary Istanbul together in humorous and playful ways. Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster explores the anxieties faced by the new generation with its humorous and intertwined ways.

Ayse, Ali, Mehmet and Zeynep are middle-class millennials struggling to make ends meet in Istanbul. Either still living with their parents or hardly getting by without help from their families, they are all beset by similar woes: money crunch, joblessness, social isolation. In view of the world's horrors that Zeynep enumerates in her diary entries, these are minor problems, 'slight disasters', but they are all-consuming, at least to the extent of making them cry in the still of the night.—Jakkepoes

Four twenty somethings in contemporary Istanbul: Zeynep is a student who feels distressed from following daily news. Her housemate Ayse tries to flee abroad because she cannot see a future for herself in Turkey. Mehmet is a married engineer who is never satisfied with his above-average life, while unemployed Ali feels stuck living with his parents. Coincidences bring them together in a playful manner. Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster explores the anxieties faced by the new generation with its humorous and intertwined ways.—yusufpiskin
