They try to survive with restricted resources, and their salaries are not paid by the patron. They are ordered to mend the ship so that they can leave, but some workers are not willing to fix it. Their stagnation symbolizes their desperation and frustration. In the movie, ivy is used to symbolize the tangled, suffocating, and bleak atmosphere that drives them into madness. Morally, the film showcases the dehumanizing effects of economic exploitation and the lack of agency experienced by the workers. The oppressive environment and the struggle for survival bring out the worst in people, pushing them towards the brink of insanity. "Sarmaşık" is a powerful commentary on the human condition under extreme stress and the consequences of neglecting the well-being of workers by the uncaring patron that we cannot see in the movie.
