Synopsis
Dilan, who works for her uncle and lives with her mother, feels that she is not living up to her potential. A documentary team investigating Dilan’s problem follows Dilan’s life while examining the unsolved mystery of artistic production. Why is this young adult of average standards unable to produce anything of value even though she wants to? Is it because of a psychological or physiological condition? Lack of iron? Is it a lack of talent, bad luck, or just laziness?
