Lohusa

Lohusa (2024) is a Turkish comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, following two first-time parents through the chaos that arrives with a newborn. The honeymoon of new parenthood lasts about a day.

The story tracks the first forty days after the baby comes home, when sleep disappears and the couple's old routines quietly fall apart. Gupse Özay and Onur Gürçay play the mother and father figuring out the job in real time, with relatives, exhaustion and unsolicited advice piling on top. Director Kıvanç Baruönü keeps the tone warm without turning syrupy.

It will land hardest with anyone who has survived those first weeks with an infant, and with viewers who enjoy gentle Turkish family stories. Stream Lohusa (2024) online on iFILM.
