After his father dies, the lawyer Cengiz takes his brother Savaş out of prison for a day. The family's grief work is overshadowed by the father's gambling debts to the criminal Murat.

Reviews
"The fundamental and existential questions that the film raises are condensed by director Türker Süer in 23 minutes with an unbelievably atmospheric tension. [...] Convincing actors, as well as camera and editing, do the rest to create a family drama that one follows breathlessly from the first to the last minute. "
