Samet is a disillusioned teacher working in remote Turkey. His casual and impetuous personality has not only left him woefully single but also responsible for misconduct with his students. As his affections, both inside and outside of school, lead him down a manipulative path, Samet is forced, perhaps for the first time in his life, to ponder his choices.

Assigned to work in a village in desolate East Anatolia, Samet teaches art to indifferent students. But one student, offended by something he’s done, accuses him of indecorous behavior. The only thing keeping him afloat is his new relationship with Nuray, another teacher. But when she confronts him for his narcissism, he questions his entire existence. From multiple Cannes award-winner Nuri Bilge Ceyla comes another profound film of contemplation.
