1 in 8 women gets breast cancer. Breast cancer is a disease that affects not only the individual but also their family, relationships, friendships and work.

​

On the other hand, prejudgments like the fact that cancer is a frightening taboo and that many people can’t bear to even hear the name of cancer prevent the creation of social consciousness against the disease.

​

Metamazon is not a documentary that responds to typical cancer prejudices with clichés. The hair falling out, unhappy and desperate patients are not covered. The focus of the film is women who are more committed to life than anyone else, who love to live, who are at peace with their cancer and who struggle: In other words, “Metamazons”.

​

We think that addressing the most advanced stage of breast cancer from such a positive perspective and reflecting it to the audience will also contribute to breaking down some prejudices. We believe that we have presented a production that the audience will enjoy watching, smile and empathize with.

​

The friendship that Director Can Adiloğlu developed Canan Perdahli, the Chairwoman of Metastatic Breast Cancer Association and the protagonist of the film, allowed him to enter, observe and shoot in the warmest environments during the production of the film. Thus, this resulted in a film that can make the audience feel sincerity in the most intense way.
