Even the weakest wind can trigger a stormy atmosphere in families. There are always unopened discussions, secrets no one would reveal to each other and some topics always kept in the dark. They whisper but await on the sly as a messenger of a big storm. There are countless of these messengers for Rıza Gülsoy and his family. However, Rıza, the Emperor, still believes in the fortress of his family. During The Feast of the Sacrifice, all the family–sons, daughters, granddaughters, relatives–gather at the country house of Rıza Gülsoy. They celebrate the holiday while they share the good memories, dine, drink, sing, and dance. Horror starts when one of the granddaughters of Rıza, suddenly disappears. This ruins the festive spirit. Every member of the family is haunted by the thought of her being kidnapped. The relief comes when the granddaughter is found but some secrets are already revealed. There is no turning back.
