Synopsis

In Rehearsal (2023) we meet Orzu, a theater actress who, unable to reconcile her career with caring for her sister with functional diversity, decides to send her to a boarding school for children in similar circumstances. The film employs meta-theatricality through the play Orzu works on, exploring human decadence and spiritual quest. Initially given completely to her role, this experience leads her to a new understanding of art and truth in the world. Inspired, Orzu redirects her life to a humanitarian cause. She finds in the children’s home where her sister resides an ideal place to begin her new mission: to heal the broken hearts of the world.
