Living in Istanbul, Erdem is a young painter at the beginning of his career, making plans to settle in Çanakkale, where he was born and raised. When he goes to Çanakkale for two weeks to rest with his family, Erdem learns that his old friend Arda, whose ties are completely severed following the traffic accident they were involved in, is going to organize a painting exhibition in Bozcaada. He creates a reason for himself to confront his past, which he has been running away from for years. The complex aspects of Erdem’s loss of the girl he fell in love with in a fatal accident and eventually starting to take pleasure in this tragic event, his power to add to his past by seeing that experience as a fingerprint, the sense of belonging that he tries to re-establish with his family, and the power of deceiving oneself for the sake of his ideals, is a young man. We observe all through the perception of the artist.
