Berlin tattooist and single mother of three children, Pelin collapses when one
day her problems grow into a mountain: her son eats her boyfriend’s drugs and
ends up in hospital, social services threaten to take away her children and she
loses her job. At its heart, BURNOUT is a coming of age story about a woman
who is learning how to become a grown up, and a mother.
