While people hadn’t yet buried their deceased, they fell into the anxiety of exams after the earthquake in Hatay. While the students see the university exam as a way out of this city where they have lost all their memories, the teachers unwittingly build their own utopia. In this period of civil inattention, while trying to memorise the subjects the exam covers, they also try to push the memories of their ruined city out of their minds. But each exam question reminds students of something. For some, distances; for some, the state; for some, a pile of debris by the sea. If the memory of a city is imprisoned in that heap of debris by the sea, the struggle for existence of people trying to build a future is nothing but an exam on the edge of time.
