After an ordinary day at work, Gven leaves his office, takes the bus. He walks on his empty street, comes home to his threestorey apartment building. He enters his apartment, changes his clothes, washes his face, and sits down on the sofa in the living room. The living room is empty. The house is empty.Hrriyet Daily News reviewer Emrah Gler describes the film as, a beautifully crafted story of a wounded soul and how the intersection of stories from his life with those of others lead to haunting revelation and redemption, and which, according to Todays Zaman reviewer Emine Yldrm, continues the prevalent notion in Turkish cinema in dealing with raw, dark and sullen emotions. The story takes place in stanbul, which according to Yldrm, is, shown here in its gray winter colors and atmosphere, but, We are never really shown exterior images of the city except for the intermittent shots of highway traffic, for this is more of an interior film, where most of the action takes place in, what Gler describes as, an office out of Franz Kafkas imagination. ........
