No age
Geen Leeftijd is Sevtap Baycili’s story about physical age and spiritual youth. Many years ago she discovered that her mother’s spirit was in fact younger than her own. At a certain point the unavoidable aging process makes her realise that she too is getting older and she finds this difficult to accept. Body and mind are more united than we sometimes like to admit.
