Selim (Ulaş Tuna Astepe), an apathetic 32-year-old man, leaves Istanbul after a disastrous divorce and an unsuccessful business career, and returns to his parents’ house in Izmir. There, he will have to face his past, his family members, his ex-girlfriend, his schoolmates and people who seem to know him, such as Cihan (Ahmet Melih Yılmaz), who claims that they were friends during their military service. Everyone notices his reluctance to do anything new, and he is also uninterested in thinking about the future. After a huge fire close to Izmir’s port, the city is enveloped by a horrible smell that forces everyone to abandon it. Selim is probably the only one unaffected by it – on the contrary, he now feels ready for something new.
