Synopsis/Details

Burac’s House is a South Asian family sitcom about forced togetherness. When aging, stubborn patriarch Burac becomes physically unsteady, his adult children end up back under one roof – emotionally unsteady themselves. The house becomes a pressure cooker where generational values, unresolved resentments and unmet needs collide. Each episode centres on Burac’s day-to-day struggles, with his children orbiting him, clashing with one another and slowly being forced to confront who they are as adults still “parented” by their dad.
Tonally, it’s warm, sharp, and chaotic – a slice-of-life comedy rooted in family love that’s real, messy and often badly expressed.
