Veteran math teacher HİLMİ (42) is preparing the earthquake survivor ELA (20) for her college applications, and is mentoring ALI (15) the doorman’s son, who flunked for the second time at school. As they seek refuge from loneliness in each other, they slowly find themselves in an uncanny triangle where all boundaries dissolve.
