Herkes Kocama Benziyor
"No, I'm a little better since that night, but I still don't feel completely at peace. I don't understand; it's as if my anger is just sitting there inside me, like a hot coal. It's cooled down somewhat, but sometimes it flares up again. Something has been stuck with me since that night. My mind is constantly racing, always working. My head and my thoughts are always on edge. "Sometimes I tell myself, 'Quiet down, girl,'" I say. I don't know, maybe I say it because I'm a woman, and maybe my mind should be more feminine. She's a woman with eyes that are wide open, like a demon's."
Ayten, who works as a restroom attendant in a cabaret, recounts her story piece by piece. She talks about how she "ended up" here, her husband who abandoned her, her sadness, her passions, her fellow workers at the cabaret whom she loves, but most of all, her anger. This anger, which she couldn't understand in the past and only gradually came to comprehend, shatters one day, like the frosted glass of a restroom door. And after that, nothing is ever the same again.
