Tulay, a restless woman whose marriage is slowly disintegrating sets out to come to terms with various traumas while continually being watched by Halit, the son of the janitor in her apartment complex.

Set in a residential apartment in Istanbul, Zeki Demirkubuz’s claustrophobic debut portrays the isolation and purposelessness of a new upper-middle class in the 1990s. Bearing the psychological marks of Turkey’s 1980 military coup, this incisive drama is a sharp prelude to a forceful oeuvre.
