Chasing Azra

By Matthew Curcio

Set at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Max Yates is let go from his midtown firm employed as a private equity analyst. Having received a generous severance from his former employer, Max is left with nothing but time to reflect on his past and how he got to the current position. This forces Max to reminisce on his first relationship with his college girlfriend Azra, whom he met as a freshman at NYU. With nothing but time on his hands, Max plans a trip to Turkey, Azra's home country, in hopes of finding Azra and finding peace with his fate. Ultimately, Max encounters Azra in the most unusual of places and, while doing so, finds answers to the questions that went wrong in not only his own life but Azra's as well. As the Coronavirus continues to spread throughout the United States, Max finds a beautiful struggle between chasing his future and letting go of his past.
