When her husband Cemal is arrested in Romania, Emine is left alone with their child who needs immediate surgery. She takes a job as a needle worker at a garment workshop where she comes across Ziya, her husband´s former boss. He can´t stay indifferent when he learns what the woman he once fancied is going through. When Cemal returns months later, he finds Emine working at the garment workshop and their son healthy. A hospital bill he accidentally sees reveals that Ziya has paid for the surgery and Emine hid this fact. Will Cemal, who already blames Ziya for what he went through and is extremely jealous of Emine, be able to confront this situation or choose to ignore it?
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
It is what we hide as much as what we show that makes us human. It is people’s rationality and irrationality, morals and desires, reasons and randomness that make us human. These are the roots of a human being’s goodness and malice. However, the deepest pain a person suffers is hidden in his nature which is impossible to grasp. The basic challenges I deal with in my filmmaking are human nature with which one has to live helplessly, without being able to do anything about it, and to question it while trying to understand life as it is shaped through this nature.
