| AFLOAT, a Psychological Drama arrives on DVD December 10th from Indiepix Films | ||||||
 Seeking to reunite with her estranged family, Western educated Zeynep (Nihan Aker) and her American husband Stephen (Oscar Pearce) travel from New York City to a small coastal town in Turkey. Together, along with her divorced parents and younger sister, free-spirited Yasemin (Elit Iscan), they embark on a week-long sailing trip meant to be a last chance for Zeynep’s father, Yusuf (Serhat Ünaldi), a dissident journalist being prosecuted by the government, to reconnect with his daughters before prison. Once on open water, with blue skies and wind in their sails, hope springs eternal -- yet things may not be as they seem. As they await the result of Yusuf’s appeal, tensions begin to rise, and when a young local man further disrupts the delicate family dynamics the trip takes a very unexpected turn.AFLOAT has already sailed to prestigious film festivals including Sao Paulo, Valencia, Montreal, Buenos Aires, Sofia and Istanbul, and won Best Film and Best Director at New York's CineFest. Unaldi boldly introduces complex female characters (rarely seen in Turkish films) and asks her father (an amateur actor) to play the pivotal role of Yusuf in the director’s stunning and personal directorial debut.
