Nobody's Home

After her father dies unexpectedly, Feride steps up to fill the role he left in her household, taking on responsibilities that had long belonged to him. Her mother, Nurcan, clings to Feride as a substitute husband, pressuring her to conform to that new role, while Feride's brother Ilker grows distant and unsettled. As expectations tighten and family ties fray, Feride chooses to assert her needs, setting in motion changes that force each family member to reevaluate who they are and what they want. The film follows Feride's struggle to balance duty and personal freedom, showing how one person's decision can redirect the lives of those closest to them. Scenes emphasize quiet domestic moments and tense confrontations, letting small choices matter.

Nobody's Home, released in 2013, was directed by Deniz Akçay and stars Ahu Türkpençe as Feride, with Lale Başar, Savaş Alp Başar, Sekvan Serinkaya, and Mihriban Er in supporting roles. It played on Turkish festival circuit and in limited theaters.

Detailed box office totals for Nobody's Home are not widely reported. The film had a limited theatrical release in Turkey and screened at a few regional festivals, so it did not produce notable international grosses or widely cited revenue figures.

While it didn't achieve broad international recognition, the film sparked conversations in Turkey about gender roles, caregiving, and family obligation. Ahu Türkpençe's portrait of Feride drew attention for its restraint, and several critics and viewers praised the movie for depicting ordinary domestic pressures with quiet intensity and urban social shifts.

Critical response was mixed, reflected by a modest user score of 6.1 out of 10 from a small sample of voters. Reviewers noted the film's focus on family dynamics, role reversal, and personal autonomy, praising its realistic performances while sometimes criticizing a slow pace and spare plotting and restrained direction.
