Lounge Lizards

Synopsis

Aisha and Sabedin, a middle-aged couple, live in an isolated place by a lake surrounded by lush nature. Sabedin is a former firefighter who has lost his legs in a fire of their neighbour’s house, 30 years ago and lives in his old truck parked in the yard. Aisha embroiders wedding dresses and lives in the house. Their mutual existence is a silent war; they eat separately, sleep separately, and hardly talk to each other at all. One day, Sabedin decides to sell the house to investors, and with the money he buys an engine for his old fire truck, while Aisha is forced to live in a trailer. To take revenge, Aisha starts having truck driving classes with her nephew Bekim, the son of her dead sister with whom Sabedin had an affair and made her pregnant, before the tragedy happened.
