Kerim, haunted by past trauma, refuses to speak about what happened in his relationship with Melis. Two years later, they return to the island where their memories lie buried, hoping for a peaceful holiday. Minor tensions grow into tragicomic clashes as silences begin to speak. The vacation spirals into an endless argument; hunger and exhaustion push them to their limits.
