"The Mask", from Garahisarliyin, made sometime in mid
2019, certainly anticipates COVID (5 minutes).
A young man (Aden Akyol) with no face wakes up, puts on a mask to
look like a real human, and everyone ignores and bumps into him.
It’s as if he does not exist anymore, and lives only
in a simulation. But for him a mask would give him an identity, not function as a symbol of vulnerability,
Perhaps this is his afterlife, after purgatory, for
all eternity.
