CGiii Comment

Mutiny: some caregivers have a party in a nursing home on New Year’s Eve. Boarding: a Congolese family living in Germany is visited by a pretended social worker. Adrift: a man crushed by his community wanders in the medieval German countryside. Spanning three interlinked but stylistically distinct films, the triptych navigates the metaphoric and literal topographies of shipwreck as both rupture and reckoning, building a suggestive meditation on exile, identity, and the fractured condition of modern belonging.

Through performance and genre, hysterical laughs and chills, Deniz Eroglu reframes the archetype of the castaway, not as victim of nature, but as a subject adrift in the tides of history, bureaucracy, and cultural displacement. Fragmented timelines and layered media collapse boundaries between past and present, personal and geopolitical. The trilogy’s protagonists, caught between languages, homelands and identities, embody the post-national condition of human beings condemned to exist in an ambivalent space.
