Plot Summary

Fırat and Filiz are a couple in their 30s, married for seven years. Their marriage has entered a period of stagnation, so they come for a holiday to “Evcilik,” a quiet, very sweet small hotel near Assos in the northern Aegean town of Sivrice. At the hotel, they meet Özkan (50), a local villager who manages the cleaning and running of the entire hotel and the seaside restaurant, along with his wife, Aysun (30), a very beautiful woman. As Fırat and Filiz observe the relationship dynamics between the local couple, they both start seeing Özkan and Aysun in a completely different light. One day, while out on a hike up a deserted hill, supposedly searching for a historical ruin, Filiz suddenly mimics Aysun’s way of speaking and seduces Fırat by speaking in Aysun’s accent. From here, things take a turn. The balance of power shifts, and the story hurtles toward an unexpected, uncontrollable climax, like a truck with failed brakes.
