Bare Feet on Campus
Directed by Cansel ElçinA film that takes a different approach to the theme of people whose lives have changed after traveling to India and embarking on a spiritual journey, focusing on the lives of young people in Turkey. The story takes place at a university in Istanbul. One day, the door to a classroom filled with young people facing various challenges opens, and a young Indian girl named Shiva enters. At first, everyone teases her for her clothing and appearance, but she eventually becomes everyone's friend. Her different perspective, beliefs, and mythological stories, stemming from her different cultural background, will change their lives. However, what no one knows is that this Indian girl has a secret. The film stands out for its critical perspective on the superficial lives of today's youth, the social pressures that prevent them from becoming individuals, and the decline of their emotional well-being.
