'Life & Beth' and 'Sort Of' - Two New Series Bravely Lose The Labels
J Brooke, Incluvie Guest Columnist on 'Life and Beth' and 'Sort of': while living one’s truth is freedom, speaking it as a mandatory assignment can become captivity.

A woman... A man... Two people on the brink of death... Perhaps two people who would never meet, or even if they did, would pass each other by like ships in the fog, never seeing each other... Two separate worlds... Two separate histories... But now 'yesterday' is behind them, and they have met in death. And at the point where death's rules, words, and obstacles have been erased, they have set out to discover life. They shared fear, friendship, anger, and love. Who knows, perhaps even love... This was a life without a tomorrow. That's why "today" was so precious. A woman: Ela... A man: Ömer... They truly lived on the brink of death...
