Synopsis for Tan Tolga Demirci's Gomeda:
Five friends in their twenties - three female and two male - take a road trip to visit the caves in the Gomeda Valley. Little do they know that these caves are still haunted by memories of torture that took place there in the past. As they get closer, one by one their dreams turn into nightmares, their nightmares turn into hallucinations, and their hallucinations turn into reality, until the line between real and surreal exists no more. The valley begins to resemble a mother's womb, and the caves begin to resemble the umbilical cord between a mother and her unborn child. The memories of torture give way to the ever-haunting presence of guilt and regret that could only be felt by a mother.

This film didn't even get one single even slightly positive review. Everyone who saw it (I didn't) thought it was lacking on many counts and only managing to be enjoyable at a few scenes. Even people who sympathize with the director and his influences (Andre Breton and Alejandro Jodorowski) think that he still has a long way to go (one reviewer who actually liked his short films titled his review of Gomeda "Ordinary Suprises".
