Welcome to Litsy!

A sexually ambiguous man falls to pieces after a child-death and his marriage's demise. He turns to nearly every drug imaginable (religion, travel, sex, talk-therapy, family, folklore...) before reconnecting with a past love thought foregone; meanwhile, he comes into the inheritance of an ancestral travelogue that centers on ye-ole Constantinople, that continent-straddling shape-shifter of multi-name, a reminder that teaches, yes, remember? life can have many meanings.
LOGLINE: Man faces loss, travels, heals. Metaphor of Istanbul: shape-shifting city:: we all have many names, but meaning? We must add ourselves.
