A power cut in an all-inclusive hotel; a reunion on the edge of a steppe; and a Sisyphus-like feat of strength on the streets of Izmir. In three short stories, the film tells of the inner and outer overheating, shame and hardship in the everyday life of a deeply divided society.
This film is part of a cooperation with the Filmschoolfest Munich.
