Zeynep lives alone in Istanbul and has a monotonous life working in an office. The superficiality of relationships around her pushes her deeper into solitude, making it hard to fit in. Zeynep’s loneliness and introversion feed her imagination to the

point where her dreams sometimes supersede reality and she’s marginalized in society. Settingout from Zeynep’s inner world

as a woman caught between reality and dreams, nature and the city, love and children, this film explores the bigger issues of hierarchy, authority and modern urban relationships with subtle allusions to war and terrorism. An old woman brought to the city

is convinced that she’s back in the village; Şükran , on the other hand, moved to the city for a better life. And both are living out their destiny in this modern urban world. How will the simple question of a stranger affect Zeynep in her routine life?
