The married couple Handan (39) and Korhan (40) are well off. They live in a fancy Istanbul neighbourhood, have many friends, and a 10-year old daughter named Aleyna. Life is good – or perhaps not? The family has forgotten how to communicate, how to be close, even to show the slightest interest in one another. Handan wants to escape this emptiness and dreams of personal fulfilment with a café of her own or as a writer.
