The Earth’s surface has become uninhabitable due to climate crises and famine. Family units exist in underground homes run by a strict authoritarian regime. Population numbers are closely controlled and the ‘Scarcity Laws’ state that older generations must be destroyed in exchange for new lives.  

The life of a family of four composed of a wife, husband, child, and grandmother, is threatened by the impending arrival of a baby.

A witty take on Orwell’s “1984” or “Logan’s Run”, 2121 is Altin’s début feature, and announces her as the first woman in Turkey to have made a science-fiction film.
