Genç bir kadın, yönetmen Ömer Kavur’un filmlerindekine benzer bir yolculuğa

çıkarsa tüm sıkıntılarının çözüleceğine inanır. Yolculuk terk edilmiş kasabalarda,

harabelerde ve kimsenin kalmadığı otellerde sürerken kadın ve Kavur arasında

hayali bir diyalog başlar. Sahipsiz mektuplar, yıllar geçse de değişmeyen ortak

saplantılar, hatırlanmayan rüyalar ve kayıp bir film onlara aradıkları cevapları

bulmalarında yol gösterecektir.

A young woman goes on a voyage inspired by the ones that are thematized in the films Kavur, a Turkish director whom she admires. She believes that familiarizing herself with  world will ease her restlessness in some way. She witnesses his struggles of being a  being stuck between the East and the West, and being a disillusioned and outcast help her to find the answers she has long been looking for. Performing an imaginary they wander around abandoned towns, ruins, and deserted hotels. During this timeless  encounter; a rich archival material including letters, photos, personal belongings,  scripts, and a lost 16 mm film will guide their mutual reckoning on solitude, truth and itself.
