Synopsis
Samet, a teacher living in Istanbul, is relocated to a remote village in Eastern Anatolia. Returning from holidays for the winter term, he and his co-worker Kenan face accusations of inappropriate behavior from two female pupils, including Sevim, a former protégée. Meanwhile, Samet and Kenan separately encounter Nuray, a teacher from a neighboring village who lost a leg in a terrorist explosion. As Kenan and Nuray develop a connection, Samet's perspective shifts, and he also becomes intrigued by Nuray despite initial reservations, prompting reflections on life in the region.Details of Cast
