“why do you play?”

An independent Kurdish short film that highlights the conflict between individuals and their true selves, particularly in societies that suppress authenticity and freedom. Just when she thinks she’s finally gotten over the desire to find herself, her true self haunts her one last time and asks to play one round of chess, in which they both play in favor of only one.
