Revellers, shrouded in white sheets, walk through the streets with an air of mystery and intrigue.

It reminds us that even in our modern world, ancient customs are still celebrated and cherished. Sezer's skillful portrayal allows us to immerse ourselves in this enigmatic event where real people become ethereal beings for one special night.
