A critically acclaimed, contemporary tale from picturesque Istanbul, a city bordering the West and the Arab world; comes a timely tale about love and hope. Zeynep, a beautiful, young woman, dreams of a better life. Her days are spent cleaning hotel rooms and her nights are like hell because of her abusive father. The only person that she relates to is Mustafa, who is younger than she and works at the same hotel. In a parallel story, on the other side of the city, Selcuk mourns the death of his wife, safely keeping her belongings close to him, in a suitcase. By chance, or if you choose; by fate, Zeynep"s and Selcuk"s paths cross with unexpected consequences, changing all their lives forever. Directed by: SEMIH KAPLANOGLUStarring: Official Selection!
