Plot

Fikret works at the library. He is married and has a ten-year-old son. He literally has a routine life. With his wife leaving home, he loses his ability to continue his daily life. His son suddenly finds himself in the position of his father's father. The film tells the story of a father with high functioning autism and his "normal" son.

Sinekatalog’s take

A routine-bound library worker is thrown off balance when his wife leaves, and his ten-year-old son sees things the adult cannot. A quiet Turkish family drama about loneliness and difference.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
