Fırat and Filiz are a couple in their 30s, married for seven years. Their marriage has entered a period of stagnation, so they come for a holiday to “Evcilik,” a quiet, very sweet small hotel near Assos in the northern Aegean town of Sivrice. At the hotel, they meet Özkan (50), a local villager who manages the cleaning and running of the entire hotel and the seaside restaurant, along with his wife, Aysun (30), a very beautiful woman. As Fırat and Filiz observe the relationship dynamics between the local couple, they both start seeing Özkan and Aysun in a completely different light. One day, while out on a hike up a deserted hill, supposedly searching for a historical ruin, Filiz suddenly mimics Aysun’s way of speaking and seduces Fırat by speaking in Aysun’s accent. From here, things take a turn. The balance of power shifts, and the story hurtles toward an unexpected, uncontrollable climax, like a truck with failed brakes.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
