Harika

Two kids, a Chihuahua, the owner of a boxing gym and a bucket of water balloons, collide at a street corner.
In the middle of a small town, Erdem and Yasin are throwing water balloons. When they accidentally hit a Chihuahua, the two kids panic and flee the scene. The incident quickly spreads through the community, growing and changing with every retelling. Did something far worse happen to the dog owned by Arkan, the local boxing gym owner? A harmless rumor swells into something larger, quietly testing the bonds and structures of the community.
