A coming storm after dog days dawns during a road trip to an island for a funeral. The deceased is buried in haste and a man makes a detour through Aegean Turkey. The funeral is eclipsed by a last wish.

Winner of the Golden Pardino in Locarno, Arda Çiltepe’s grainy 16mm short is an atmospheric, free-form examination of emotional stagnation and the Sisyphean task of waiting. Drawing parallels between the eclipsing sun and restless souls, this enigmatic road movie is open to multiple interpretations.
